Default Re: winter cover help for a center console

Nice frame job!

Maybe I am a little too consciencious- but I jack the trailer wheels off the ground and use jack stands underneath the axle.

Save tire memory and you can spin it once a month to slather grease around that gravity may have settled to lower points.

Just a thought.

When building the frame you need to be careful about the corners too. If your cover is lying on a sharp corner or edge it's sure to wear it through. Either try and round the corners or duct tape an old towel around them to soften the edge.

Also, the tighter the cover the less it tends to flap and move around creating friction which can eventually wear through the cover and or cause damage to your boat by rubbing against it.
