i had to move the boat out the workshop today and put the cover on...but because it was raining i had to come up with an idea for holding the cover up so that i dont get big pools of water on the boat.
i have used plastic pipes but they sag when it gets hot...steel pipes...tried blow up balls...and various other ideas...
i have piles of sawdust which is packed in plastic bags which i have offered to various people for free but they have never come back to me...
so what i have done is used 2 bags to hold the cover up...and at the same time any condensation will be absorbed by the sawdust.
if it works i will pack more bags under the cover and in the big hatch.
the bonus about the sawdust is that its soft so there isnt pressure on the cover like when you use a rigid support like a steel pipe...it also keeps the cover off the fishfinder bracket...which is the first place the holes start from the pressure.
