Q:  Does the cover go over my swim platform?

Q:  Do your covers have snaps to attach to the boat for mooring?
A: No. The cover has a shock cord sewn into the hem for a snug fit and loops sewn into the cover for the tie down straps.

Q:  Does the cover have the openings for support poles?
A: No. If you have support poles already, we suggest cutting a tennis ball and placing it over the tip that will be touching the cover.

Q:  I'm looking for a good cover that's waterproof. Will the Polyguard work?
A: : The Polyguard is water repellant. It's breathable so if it is constantly covered in water, it will eventually seep through. Anything that is waterproof will allow moisture to build on the inside and mold will eventually begin to grow.

Q: How do I care for my boat cover?
A: To keep your boat cover looking great much longer, make sure to support your cover using a support pole. Supporting your cover properly will prevent water from pooling on the cover. When trailering (or even just for storage), use a tie down kit to prevent damage to your cover.

Never wash your boat cover in a machine. You can use a hose and a soft bristle brush for cleaning. Allow the cover to dry completely before folding for storage.

For more stubborn spots, you may use the following recipe:

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup Borax powder
2 cups warm water
Mix ingredients in a bucket or in a spray bottle. Apply to the spot of concern and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse--allow to dry thoroughly before folding
