Location: Milwaukee, WI | My results are similar to Dave's! (Ah...misery loves company)
I too, had an expensive custom cover made with integrated trolling motor & outboard "pockets". Have attempted many different home remedies to keep the darn thing from catching air & turning into a mini-parachute. Have spent 8 seasons "tuning" it. This is an excellent hobby for a aerodynamics engineer, but not me.
So far, the best performance I've had is when I disconnect the trolling motor and stow it inside the boat. Tie the bow portion down tight to the gunwales so air cannot get under the cover at the bow.
When they flap in the wind, the hull paint and/or registration letters get rubbed off. Very disappointing!
Next time I get a cover, no pockets and the snaps sound like a good idea. |
