I managed to overtighten my canvas boat cover last season and in the
process pulled the anchor roller through it at the bow, creating a nice
18" rip. Had a couple of other minor rips and tears. Got it all repaired
at a local boat canvas shop for $60, and the shop sewed on double
patches of vinyl at the bow where I pulled the cover too tight over the
deck hardware. $60 is a lot better than $400 for a new "semi-custom" cover.

Still evolving a quick tie/release system for straps that tie the cover
to the trailer...

Cheers.

Small canvas loops around the edges of the cover. *Run very thin
bungee material thru said loops. *Put *metal hooks on the ends of said
bungee material that hook under trailer frame. *You can probably buy
stainless rod at Home Depot or even use stainless welding rod for
these hooks. *Ace hardware sells the bungee material.

Yeah. I have the loops...and I've been considering that elastic bungee
cord. My trailer is made of aluminum i-beams, so I can probably drill
small holes on the flat parts of the beams to catch the hooks...

I'd prefer nylon hooks, I think.

Yeah, that's what you should do. Weaken the trailer's structural
components by drilling holes in it.
