Multiple covers is not really a good thing. The seams on one cover can rub holes in the other one.

I'd pull the cockpit cover off and make sure the whole boat cover has plenty of "tent poles" to make sure you do not have any snow and/or water pooling. Make sure the nose is up so any water that gets in the boat drains out the back.

Make sure you have plenty of DampRid in the cabin and engine compartment, or some other type of moisture/humidity control to keep mold from growing.

Here is my set-up. Plus I get to go inside of it and take care of some little projects and the snow slides right off.

No, just a white poly tarp.
