Helm Cover

[Link]

Wanted to share what I bought for the boat; When I get to the lake for the weekend I uncover my boat and it generally stays uncovered until we go home on Sunday. However there are always those nights where you don't think it's going to rain but it might so I generally will cover it then mainly to protect the electronics in the helm. I was walking through Home Depot and saw this inexpensive [$35] pickup truck bed cover. It has straps and hooks built it into it. Took a chance and bought it for those nights when there was a slight chance of rain. Fits like it was designed for this and imo even a heavy wind will not blow it off. http://club.benningtonmarine.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2503-helm-cover-2/ http://club.benningtonmarine.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2504-helm-cover-1/

Good find Link! I might have to look at this too. Guess we'll wait and see if the playpen cover gets a redesign. I had talked to Bennington about the tower model issues with water leakage and also mentioned how the area over the helm that has the extra layer of dark fabric needs to be bigger. When it gets wet the seams leak and I end up with a line of water between the gauges and the steering wheel, and another between the front of the windshield and lounger back. Exactly where that bit of extra fabric starts and ends! I was told that there is a thread that actually expands when wet for this exact purpose, apparently Tumac doesn't use it! Haha
