Can any canvas shop put a zipper in my current cover

+10000000. I tryed it once with out putting on my camper top. The next morning i payed for it!!!! Took 2 hours that morning cleaning, and still finding dead mayflies in the cock pit. Those buggers were every where! They were about a 1/2" thick on the swim deck by the transom light. Put cover on at min.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure they stitch a flap in that covers the zipper. It keeps the water out. You can see the flap in ICDEDPPL's pic. I have a zipper on both sides, never know what side the dock is on or if you pull in or back in

Good Lord. Did that once last year after a few too many at the bar. Woke up to find a bug holocost everywhere. Hours of cleaning with a raging hangover is not fun. Snap up the top every time now.

Just put the cockpit cover on the boat, and drop back down into the cabin via the bow hatch.

Why did it take 13 posts for this to come out?

I realize some may have a little too much girth to fit or hatch may not be large enough?
My method of choice most of the time mainly because I did not think ahead and have a zipper put in when I had the cover made. Seems like two zippers or a single in the rear may be best since I never know which side I might be docking on depending on a double wide slip or which side I docked with a straight dock.

I admit there are a couple downsides to the hatch - if heavy dew/recent rain bow may be slippery (increased by state returning from bar) and dirty foot prints to wipe in the morning (hopefully I awake before the dirty foot prints dry)
If it IS raining, bed can get wet

Sitting here, boat may be paying a visit to the canvas shop this spring for a zipper.....

When you find a shop that does it let me know so I can get some added.

We are having one added to our cockpit cover. Appearance Products said no problem.
