i use 2 hd poly-tarps...15x12 i think, end to end over the mooring canvas and run a brace from bow to windscreen...this year i'm trying to let air move better, so i opened up some venting, but put a sheet of plastic 10x30 between boat and poly tarp....should keep water from drizzling through the mooring cover and keep the little nasties off the deck...nothing custom here....guess that's why it gets cleaned off before the truck in the winter...

when you say mooring cover are talking about a cockpit cover Or a full length cover?


In the winter I have used my cockpit cover, Then a huge 30x 15 poly tarp. This year I think I am going to use some large PVC pipes to build a shelter for it and keep the tarp way about the boat so it gets a ton of air over and around it.
I can assemble and disassemble the pipes with some sheet metal self tappers.


We do this on the job for equipement sometimes

I was hoping the new garage would be built by now but no such luck. The comercial building I am working on and the new boarn are killing me time wise.

cockpit cover...i tried the pvc thing, too, but there was too much flex for my liking, and i couldn't get the snow off the top..i like this new idea because i can easily use it all summer to keep things clean..i like simple..
