I know the non-galvanized trailer isn't the one that I should of gotten but the dealer didn't have...

    Most likely a dumb question but I have a bow and cabin cover for my Bowrider in my sig. Last weekend when I went to get it ready to go out on the water (It's slipped) I noticed water in the bilge area for the first time. Now I am assuming this was from all the rain (water was real clear) we had...

    Trailering with Bow and Cockpit cover on or off?

    When trailering your boat do you leave your Canvas for your bow and cabin on or off. With the Snap tabs I would think on would be ok? Yeah or nay. I know the Bimini top should be fully down not just in the Stow away mode.
