Yeah. All that damn snow caused my boat cover to rip. Now Mr. Kim will
make enough money to buy a Christmas ham, or bulgogi, or whatever.
He's giving me 24 hour turnaround too. Can't beat Koreans when it
comes to getting things fixed. They're great.
Maybe too late, but would it help to add a support pole where he is
making the repair.
The guy who shrinkwraps my parker makes an elaborate "trellis/frame" out
of 1/2" wide nylon tape, on which the plastic rests. Herring's boat is
18'. For $8 x 18 or $144 he could have had a professional wrapping job
that would have protected his boat from winter and not have put his
fabric cover at risk. Based upon Herring's boating repair/maintence
misadventures reported here, he's penny-foolish and pound foolish, too.

Remember...he wanted to winterize his motor with WD40 and lube it with
two-cycle oil, among other idiocies.- Hide quoted text -

"Elaborate trellis/frame."....BWAAAAHAAAA!!!!!

It must have been one of Harry's boy toys trying to impress him with
elaborate trellis building skills.

Merry Christmas Loogie

Gene,
None of these fitted covers are meant to protect against a snow load. In
fact, you should remove them before traveling on the highway. However, a
pole might help to prevent sags where pockets could form and collect
water. John could build a frame structure to deal with the snow. The
idea is to make the slope of the tarp steep enough that the snow slides
of rather than build up.


John doesn't live in Minnesota.... snow loads should be light....
although this time we got bombed. The pole should, as you note,
prevent sags and if the snow is dry enough it should just slide or
blow off....

This last snowfall started wet and provided a good base for the rest.
It wasn't dry enough to fall off. The rips happened at a support I
have between the console and the engine. There was about 15" of snow
with a 1" base of ice when I saw the damage.

Oh well, it's fixed now. Maybe Harry will be kind enough to post his
$8-a-foot guy's phone number.

We're now getting some of that rain y'all have been having. Hopefully
it'll knock the snow down so they can open the golf course again. All
this sitting around and eating isn't good for my physical welfare.

Hope you had a great Christmas day.
