.... 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?

I'd skip the iron on route and pay $25, or so, to a canvas shop to sew a
*reinforced* panel in it's place. That will save you from future
headaches. Putting a small, folded, towel on the top of the prop rod
will also help.
