options for boat cover supports

[charliedaubitz1]

My cover fits good but it continually catches water when it's a heavy rain. it's a black cover the the supports that hold the cover up front and back were pvc and under the black cover it gets so hot the pvc bends. I found a good replacement for those. 48"x84" for the front and 48"x96" for the rear. they inflate with a cordless vacuum.

Those inflatable supports are a great fix. They'll hold the cover up to shed water and won't heat up and bend like PVC. Just make sure the cover is tight so the supports stay upright in wind. Good solution.

As your pic shows, your cover either does not fit correctly or you do not have it strapped tight enough.Inflatable is a good idea .You can use a host of things as support .I have used plastic easy assemble saw horse.Charlie

I use several pieces of PVC to hold my cover up and never had an issue with the heat affecting the PVC, my cover is dark brown. Where do you live and how hot does it get?

Covers stretch. We need to support them no matter what.
