You're missing the point John.
Your suggestions would take care of the stem to stern travel/mooring cover but make the state drive uo can. As unusable.
Think Bimini with full separate side and back panels that you would operate the boat under in foul weather.

Don't understand this part: "...but make the state drive uo can."

I suppose I'd have to see a picture. But, I'd sure figure out a way to get rid of the source of your

stuff in foul weather, but your thunderstorms may be worse than ours.
