06 Outback Boat Cover problems
Anyone else out there had issues with their boat covers? Mine is less than a year old and already had one of the tie down straps rip off where it is sewn into the cover. The other straps have some small tears where they are connected as well.
Also, my boat has a tower and the cover leaves BIG gaps where the tower is mounted at the rear most point, rain water gets in constantly. Seems like a very poor design. Anyone using aftermarket covers? Any good (better), cost???

06 Outback Cover Problems
Yes, it is canvas, and seems pretty heavy. It has been fairly waterproof, but again, the large gaping holes at the tower mounts let lots of rain water in.

Do you trailer your boat with the cover on it?
If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.

Outback Cover
I do trailer the boat occassionally with the cover on it. Not at excessive speed though. I know that puts more stress on the points where the straps are secured, but that's the point of the straps, isn't it????

I spent $400 on a 15 year custom cover. It is harder to put on because it is heavier than the canvas cover but it will pay off in the end.

We had a custom amde sumbrella cover for our last boat and I'm getting one made for our Outback. Sumbrella has a 5-10year life and isn't or shouldn't be affected by excessive moisture or hummidity. It is also very trailerable when used with a snap system. Some people don't like the snaps, but it works better for me.
