    Default Upgrade Mooring Cover?

    Does anyone know if Moomba makes an upgrade to their standard mooring cover? I hate the design of the current cover. I hate the huge holes around the tower legs. I hate how the cover (to go around the tower legs) velcros to the inside and not to the outside. My best friend bought a Supra and it has a way nicer cover! It velcros out instead of in. It has an elastic stretch around the tower legs for a snug fit. It is just a way nicer cover.

    Thanks,

    Garn

    As far as i know that is the only cover they have. Mine is being modified as we speak to eliminate that and other issues i have with it. I'll post 'em next week sometime.

    If your willing to pay the money for a new cover a custom isnt much more ~ 800 and it will fit like it should a glove

    Humm..makes me wonder if i got a Supra cover now.

    I have full elastic around all my tower legs, with a snap to hold it tight, then i have velcro flaps that help tighten it around the base of the tower by each of the rope tensioners. There is also 4 points that have velcro and under it is latches to tighten the rope around the base of the cover.

    In the back is a ratchet system to crank that cover down tight. At the Bow is elastic and it covers the nose almost to the D ring.

    This is the day i brought here home. But it shows the stuff im talking about.

    Now would a Supra cover fit the Moomba boat? That might be a solution for you.

    I do like the moomba cover. I had my boat on the water all last year with only a dock on the left side of the boat. The cover was easy to install and i could do it from inside the boat. My friends had a differnt cover and they had to get on a tube and float to get their cover all the way installed.

    My original cover is a Westland, which does Velcro out and goes around the tower with Velcro. http://westlandcovers.com

    I really hated my old boat cover that came with my 06 LSV. So, I upgraded to '09 directly from Skiers Choice and what can I can say, it's way much better... I would say 10 times better than the original one I had. I got it through the dealer who got it through the skier choices for super bang on price ($550). I will take some pictures when I get around to it and post it up. Well worth it!

    My logo'd Moomba cover is made by Attwood and while it works ok it's a pain to tie up with the stupid rear rope trick!

    mmandley, changing the subject, but in your pic i saw that you fold the tower legs to the back. i have done that, i have chipped the gel coat too. i find it better to fold the lower leg forward, to rest on the tower itself. the leg will not be able to fold back to the gunwale and damage things.

    i might be the only one to have this problem, but everytime i have someone help, they try and fold the leg back, that is how the chip happened.

    You know i was thinking the same thing about chiping the gel coat that way. It might also tare the cover since you are doing pin point pressure onto it. Sorry i am off subject.
