I run a length of old ski tow line from the bow cleat over the windshield to
the original ski tow ring on the transom. I've also used two mooring lines
joined with a sheet bend to do the same thing. Then, I put the boat cover
on. The line holds the center length of the boat cover up enough for most
water to drain.

How do you guys deal with putting a cover on your boat, and not having a
big pool of water settle in it right in the seat area after it comes down
from the windshield to the back of the boat?

I was thinking of making some special pieces of wood to install that go
from the windshield to the back of the boat that would keep the cover high
enough that water couldn't gather.
