The age old boat cover problem....

[WalrusLike]

Paulee I have two tips for you.... Since I had both of your problems... Upside down photos and pooling water in cover.

iPhone photos should be taken with the camera lense at highest point.... So tip it left with the home button on the right side and the lense at left top.

With the cover I have a strap from wheel arch to wheel arch over the gunnel and then the folded down Bimini rests on the strap. It lifts the central bit of the cover and fixes the pooling issue.

The strap is the tie down I have for trailering but instead of Bimini below it (for highway) I have Bimini resting on it for propping up the cover.

Paulee, try tying a rope from bow to stern over the windscreen. This creates a tent effect and the water runs off easily.

Aw crap...... A bloody obvious (and good) solution but I was stupidly fooling around with straps and biminis. I wish I had of thought of it.

Thanks for the tip.

Yep that sounds the go and yes i feel pretty stupid now as well.....Thanks and i'll let you know how it goes....

An old fit ball on top of the anchor winch stopped the water pooling over the cabin with mine .
Very quick and the only recognized sensible use of a fit ball!

Or 3-5 bux at Whitworths u get a fair bit of shock cord. Put a small 316 saddle on to top point of windscreen in middle. Cut an old coat hanger and bend into hooks for the cord ends, cut cord so it pulls taught between bow and transom/donk/baitboard and simply hook to bow roller, thread thru saddle on windscreen and stretch tight and hook onto the back before putting the cover on. No knots and easy on/off.
