... put a big hole in my boat cover. Went down today to see if there
was any damage. Found the cover torn where I had it propped up to
'tent' it. The 20+ inches of snow, with no wind to speak of, just
wouldn't fall off the cover and the weight caused it to rip.


So, I need a good way to repair about a 1' by 2' section of boat
cover. Might try iron on patches, if they come that big. Don't feel
like investing another $400 for a new cover now.


Any suggestions?

Try a sewing machine and some weather resistant fabric?

That's been mentioned a few times, D'Plume. As brilliant as you are,
I'd think you'd bring something new to the party.

If it is canvas it will need to be sewn to have any strength. Any
sailmaker or canvas shop should be able to do it in a few minutes.


For about $125 or so, Herring the idiot could have had a guy who knows
what he is doing build a virtually storm proof shrink wrap cover for the
boat he rarely uses. Typical "canvas" boat covers keep dirt and UV off
your fiberglass. They are not storm covers.

On second thought, study the enclosed post below, pay attention to the
time line, and get back to us. Dumb bitch.

Good idea. I found a couple shops in the area that make boat covers,
so they should be able to repair one. I'll make some calls tomorrow.

Any upholstery shop can do the job.

Hey! Harry finally finds a niche in which he can give expert advice.
It's in the "Rarely Used Boat" section of the NG.

I've heard it said that there's a place for everyone...


Harry is such a smart guy. I should have asked for his advice before I
bought a boat, cover, camera, car, house, stocks, etc., etc.

Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially Harry and the plum (try
a sewing machine!).

Comments appreciated. I found a shop that'll do the job. Now I'll let
it dry out a bit and take it in.

Again, thanks

I guess you don't know how to use one. You should learn.
