It is on the correct way around, but the strap from the stern, right by the flag holder should go to the underside and inside of the bar. Looks like it is going over the top of that bar...pulling it up.Can you guys tell me what is wrong with my cover from that pic? I don't think it fits right -- this is how my dealer put it on. Is it on backwards? the winches are to the right of the flag in that pic.
It does look a little off to me but at least we know it's going the right direction because the zipper should be in the front to access your flip up anchor light which it is.Can you guys tell me what is wrong with my cover from that pic? I don't think it fits right -- this is how my dealer put it on. Is it on backwards? the winches are to the right of the flag in that pic.
I leave mine on all summer while the boat is in the slip. I take it off when trailering. The more you take it off, the less the wear will be.Thanks guys, the comparisons do help. I'm pretty sure its on wrong. I noticed mine was all bunched up and not nice and orderly like yours looked. If I remember right -- I am going to have to undo the buckles and the ratchet and redo that portion of the strap. I bought this from RIVA Miami -- don't you think a company like that could put a damn cover on properly? lol
Ill check it out tonight -- Gotta put some 5200 in my carpet screw holes and get those all patched up as well before I get the seakdek ordered up
On another note; Is the Bimini canvas supposed to come off each time? On my 190 it was easy to "fold" up and get out of the way -- This boat not so much.
Will these fit the non e-series limited tower?I also bought the same ones this week and put one up temporarily (as I don't have the bimini cover on yet).....not sure it will be able to stay there....time will tell....obviously I've not painted or dipped mine like @fraserjr did. You can also see my flag holder in the photo (more towards the stern)

If the tower diameter is less than or equal to 2 inches...don't have those specs handy.Will these fit the non e-series limited tower?
I'm sure a canvas shop could cut holes in the fabric at the back of the bimini....and perhaps add clips to go around with the strap....I wish I could figure out a way to make a cut in the fabric to mount them off of the back of the tower - maybe ill have to find some stitch-witch and just glue it back together after I snip snip.
Put the bimini cover on and the rod holder works great there.Julian - the Bimini interferes with the Rod Holders in that position the only spot really is how fraserjr did his. I had to move mine once I fixed the cover. LOL
Or you can use one of the top bars that are not covered up by the Bimini, but they are hard to reach IMO.

Thanks @Julian, I appreciate the info.@JoeMitchem Here is the thread with photos on how to route the straps on the bimini.
