Boat Cover maintenance
Hey there, just checking to see if anyone treats their boat covers with anything? What do you recommend, and how often do you spray it?
Mine is starting to sag a bit at a few places, and leaking some water, so wondering what I can do to fix it. I'm putting blow up balls under it now.
I think this has caused my back seat to start major cracking. All other seats are mint, but the back bench is really worn out and cracked all over.
Any insight appreciated!----------------------------------------

If it's a sunbrella/canvas style fabric, I'd use 303's waterproofing spray.
Do you have support poles for your cover?2004 Mobius LS - hooked on footin'

So, I am curious. Do any of you tow with your covers on? I store mine on land inside all year round. I was kind of upset when I ordered my 2018 Craz and found out upon delivery that I can’t (or shouldn’t) tow with it on. Most of the time that is fine, but we travel about 5 hours twice per year and if it is raining, I would like to tow with the cover to avoid road grime from getting on the inside of the boat. I was told SC won’t warranty the cover or any wear to the gel coat. Just curious what others do and if you have had problems. I have a buddy with another brand Boat and his covers seems to be nearly identical and he tows with it on. He also said it is supposed to be a towable cover.

When I had my Mojo I towed with the cover on. Now with my SA I tow with the cover on. I have never had any problems towing with the factory cover on either boat.

The Evolution covers from Cory are meant to be towable, the factory covers are "mooring covers". I don't personally tow with mine because I generally travel a short distance and don't want gel coat issues.
I know several guys get a giant roll of Saran Wrap (costco) to wrap the beltline and touch points for long hauls with the cover on.2017 Moomba Craz Surf Edition

I had this cover made for my boat by Dallas canvas it is towable but every spot that black straps touch has left a mark so I stoped towing with it on and that was only a 20 mile drive maybe. But I will try the Saran Wrap idea if I do go on a long trip

The Supra covers are trailerable, I am sure you could probably get one for a moomba.
