    I have a 619 and when we go north the boat stays in the water over nite. I just drape the cover over as much as I can. Do you guys try to use the ratchets to keep the top on? Seems hard to get it to work not to mention dropping one of those in water. Thinking of using a bungee cord. Any
    ideas?

    I use a bungie cord. One cord long enough to go from the rear corners and around the motor.

    What Jon said. Get a nice all rubber black one. The colored ones tend to stretch over time. Grab a couple different lengths as conditions will change the tension you will need to keep it tight!

    Thanks. I am going to run into a problem I upgraded my electric and the cover does not fit with the motor on. Maybe time to modify the cover

    Thanks again

    I use the ratchets on mine in the water whenever I leave it in. Take your cover in to get it modified, it’s a great investment!

    Do you place a support pole up front and then reach around in back to get at the rear ratchets?

    PM Kurt Turner….he had one made last year. Very nice tarp, can’t remember what the name of the place was though.

    Custom Canvas Plus Of Rochester does a great job, I had a snap cover made there a couple of years ago.

    99% of the time I put the cover on myself and take off myself. I stand in the boat, unroll from the bow to the stern. Attach the cover to the rachet on the side opposite the dock until reasonably tight. Attach dock side rachet, hop out of the boat and finish tightening from the dock and usually are set.
