[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 416670, member: 15636"] Dumb idea, but that the heck! Maybe you could make a small raft/float out of 3 to 4' lengths of closed 6" PVC pipes that floats next to your mooring ball and you can throw the frame on it when you use the boat. When the boat is covered, just tether the raft off the stern. I use (well, 'need' really ...) a 12' skiff to get out to my 16' boat that is out on the mooring, so if/when I do something for a mooring cover, or as we had in the past. then I'll just throw it in the small skiff for the day. For a cover, I think I'd consider one big 'U'-shaped frame of PVC, taller than even a typical boat windshield, that mounts upside-down and has a simple web strap from the bow cleat to the frame and back to the stern. See picture as attached from a google search for the concept. Hopefully that center strap would eliminate the pooling in front of the motor of this one as shown ... [/QUOTE]
