When covering your boat it is best to use a frame of
either aluminum or wood to keep the cover up. This
allows air to circulate and discourages water from
pooling on the cover.
Vents along the entire length of the cover will allow
condensation to escape. Placing a series of foam
pads between the hull and cover will also aid in air
circulation and reduce condensation.
To help keep your boat dry and mildew free, consider
placing commercial odor and moisture absorbing
products in the boat under the cover.
Cover
NOTICE
DO NOT USE a bimini top in lieu of a cover.
Damage and aging will occur while providing
no protection for your boat.
Repeatedly immersing the trailer in water during boat
launching can cause a variety of problems. Water
seeping into the wheel hubs will cause the grease to
emulsify and can prematurely corrode the bearings.
Check with the trailer manufacturer for scheduled
maintenance of your trailer.
