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.

A few years I bought bulk bungee cord and plastic pieces to make an
excellent tie down system. One piece secures a loop that you attach to the
cover. The other piece is mounted on the trailer where the end of the
bungee cord is "wedged" in and held very securely. Fast and easy install
and install.

It makes for a neat and efficient tie down system. The cords remain
attached to the cover and do not get "misplaced".
