My boat has a beam width of 68" and is 14 feet long. How long of a boat bow do I need to have a good enough arch to repel rain and snow? Are the fiber glass ones a lot better than wood? Thanks!
I don't have any personal experience with them, but from pictures I've seen I don't think they would shed snow very well - too flat at the apex of the bow
You can't beat a simple wooden frame to form an A shape. The steeper the pitch the better!
What kind of cover do you have? Does the bow have a mounting already or are you making something? I've seen some stuff done with PVC that makes a nice "tent" for the cover.
I like the PVC tenting personally......the boat bows just don't tent the cover enough for me. If I kept the boat outside in the winter, I would build a frame and throw a tarp over everything so it doesn't touch the cover, but I keep it in a barn. This does well with rain though for sure....
