Boat cover puddling water??

[boatingfool]

This is what I did today to try & solve that problem.<br /><br />Went to Wal Mart and bought 50' of rope.$3.50.<br /><br />Two clip rings $1.60. ( To clip on the front cleats.)<br /><br />2 18" bunji cords $1.50. ( To attatch to the u-bolts on transom.)<br /><br />

The first time I did something like this, I used a big pile of dead cats to hold the tarp up. <br /><br />Kind of messy come spring time. <br /><br />Looks like you done good.<br />Strap her down good so the wind don't flap the tarp around.<br /><br />boatingfool likes it, and so does boatingfool

Hey roscoe,<br /><br />Are you referring to the problem I had with cats in my boat last winter??<br /><br />That was a pretty hot topic!! <br /><br />But a good one!!

Would be ok with rain but forget it for snow.

Yea, it will work nice for you in Texas.<br /><br />But if that boat was up here with the set up the snow would wreak it, giving you a big mess.

boatingfool, I actually forgot that was you. I know I contributed to that one.<br /><br />I've been getting cat emails and with the few cat posts around here lately, I guess I just had cats on the brain.<br /><br />I no longer have a cat problem, I have a dog problem. In addition to the vicious one across the road, the neighbor to the south got a basset, and the neighbor to the north just moved in with 4, a lab-2 rotts-and a G dane. They steal clothes off the line, and anything that ain't bolted down in the yard. THey took one of my mud boots last week.<br /><br />With all the barking and howling, I can no longer hear the coyotes at night.
