    Which cover is the easiest to put on in-water?

    I have this deja-vu that I asked this before but couldn't find anything... Currently, I only have the shipping cover. And it's a pain to put on when the boat is docked. The main pain is fitting the rear corners - extremely tight. Is the mooring cover easier to put on? Or is there another type...
