Day one it was 68 degrees out. The sun was shining and birds singing. It was the perfect day to take the bass boat out fishing. Rolling up the new boat cover to take it off your boat you could see that the high strength polyester canvas was built for all kinds of weather. After fishing all day, the StormPro™ boat cover was rolled back on the boat and buckles snapped into place. Day two it was 28 degrees out. A thin layer of frost covered the entire tarp. This wasn’t going to be a warm day for fishing, but the weatherman promised it would warm up to mid-50 with no wind. It was going to be another good day for fishing. Rolling up the boat cover you could hear the crunching of the frost against the boat cover. Day three it had again warmed up, but was raining. It was a cold rain so I decided to run some errands instead of fishing. In three days time, my StormPro boat cover had gone through some dramatic weather conditions without allowing any frost or water into my boat.

Classic Accessories (Classic Accessories boat covers available at www.coverbonanza.com) recommended the following tips to increase the life of your StormPro boat cover: Make sure to cover all sharp points like corners of the boat’s windshield with a cloth, towel or sponge to avoid stress or tearing, tie “D” ring on the boat cover down with a rope to the boat or trailer, place the support pole included to raise up any low area on the boat to keep the boat cover from sagging allowing water to pool up, when storing your cover be sure that the cover is completely dry before putting it in the storage bag included with the boat cover, and if your boat cover becomes dirty never clean it with soap only lukewarm water and a soft brush.When trailing your boat with a cover on anglers should follow all directions included with the boat cover. Failing to follow the directions will invalidate your warranty so make sure to read them. In general it’s important to make sure to check that all the straps are tight and firmly attached to the trailer or boat then after driving a short distance stop and recheck all straps making sure they are tightly secured. The support pole should also be taken out before towing your boat.
