here in beautiful buffalo where it rains every weekend we use blue painters tape which you can get at any home depot. keeps the air from getting under the cover and pulls right off with no residue.

Aren't they about the same??

Outerlimits full covers go right to the bottom of the boat with straps about every 6ft. We have a full soft sock that goes on first. They work great and don't hurt the gel or paint. We never tow with a cockpit cover on.

That sounds like exactly what I need, I was getting ready to have one made. How do I get one?

www.dr-shrink.com is where I buy mine.

Shrink Wrap Tape is more sticky than Hull Preservation Tape. I've seen Shrink Wrap Tape pull off clearcoat before.

Shrink Wrap Tape is designed to bond shrink wrap to shrink wrap.
Hull Preservation Tape is designed to bond shrink wrap to the hull.
HPT works great for holding down the cockpit covers as well; as long as it's dry when you install it.

Been doing it this way for 10 years.

Thanks for the explanation Brian. I thought they were one in the same.

Ben, I had a new cockpit cover made for my 42 and put turn buckles at the rear of the cover where it comes down to the rub rail. I also added 3 more snaps from the rear of the cockpit towards the stern. The last thing that the guy r did was to add bungee cord into each side of the cockpit cover from the rear seat all the way to the stern with hooks on the end. You pull these bungees tight when the cover is on and hook them to the D-Rings on the transom. My cover does not come loose. Call me if you want a better expalnation.
