Opinions - Snap or Ring? Cockpit Cover Support Pole
I see a lot of covers these days with a snap at the top of the pole with a snap sewn into a small section of double layer fabric. To me, this seems like a weak point with that section of the cover supported by a 3/8" snap. The old traditional ring with a protruding pole seems like it would be little stronger, plus I think it's a little easier when covering the boat. How about the vented caps?
I'm going to see a upholstery shop about having a cover made next week. Thoughts? https://www.sealuxpro.com/image/cach...-B-500x500.jpg |
Never had a problem with the snap type and the ring type may drip water.

I've had both, get enough wind and they both will come off,
|
mine have a vent that goes to the top of them and has a reinforced sewn in area for ventilation, it has cut down on cabin mold nearly 100%
|
Vent's most important. Out of the pole options listed I like the one second from left.
|
My snap one seems fine. there's a 1' x 1' section of firmer black plastic vinyl sewn under the cover into it. to spread the load
|
Snap on mine. Lives on lift all summer and has never come undone or torn…..
my Donzi has the ring kind. I prefer snap….. |
mine has a plastic vent for which the pole slides into…
|
Cockpit and full covers for my Formula have snaps. I've had the boat five years and with the boat living outside 24x7 - no issues with the snaps at all. My covers are not vented, but I do keep a fan running in the cabin that circulates air throughout the cabin and cockpit. No issues with mold at all and it's very humid here in Tidewater.
