tarp for skeeter

[flagem2]

Have a skeeter WX 1850 with cover. The cover is made to go on boat with bow trolling motor attached to boat. It fits but seems tight. Are you skeeter owners using cover with electric bowmount left or boat or are you taking off electric and then using tarp. Just curious.

I have a Skeeter 1900, I had the tarp made special and did not order the Skeeter tarp. I had it made to leave the bow mount TM on the boat. It fits tight but I put a square piece of foam under tarp to protect the sharp edges ie. prop and skag on TM. If yours is made to have the front seat up front like mine make sure the seat is down and facing backwards, with seat back folded down, that gives the lower height and fits better

FSH,
I do have a suggestion for you.

Hook up your rig, and go for a pull on a 4 lane road.
Then, have someone follow you, and also run along you on both sides of the boat at 60 mph or so.

I am thinking that if you plan on using this cover for a travel cover, you are going to get a lot of flapping from its current appearance.

If it doesn't flap when going down the road at 60 mph, as observed from the front, back and each side, - great. Otherwise, have more tie down straps added to the cover.

Normally 4 tie down straps are not enough to keep a cover from flapping.

Flapping cover means a beat up boat's finish.

Be safe

REW, I'm not sure if you are talking about my cover but it is tight, it has a cord that ties off in the back and is ratcheted tight. This cover travels very good. However thanks for the suggestion.
