210 or 212 shipping bracket install

[suke]

This always seems to be a challenge to figure out. When I had my 2009 I couldn't find a single pic online and just guess and it worked out. I'm traveling with my boat next week at highway speeds and I'd like to use the shipping cover. I have the "brackets".....which really just appear to be flat stock metal with a couple of bolts. I have a rough idea of how they should be installed, but with this one I'd rather not guess. Can't for the life of me find a single pic online with them installed. Anyone got any pics of a 2017+ 210/212 with shipping brackets installed?

Here you go. Zoom into my tower right side. This was coming home when I picked her up.

@suke I travelled at high speeds over the holiday weekend a lot with my mooring cover, about 450 miles give or take. I found that using a ball and the straps without poles as well as pool noodles on the window shield as others have suggested worked absolutely fantastic. I made sure a ratcheted the cover down good and snug. Didn't stretch it or anything. The large ball up front under the cover was perfect.

I want it more for the overall protection and it's fleece lined. Not necessarily concerned about traveling with the mooring cover. I traveled gone with the mooring cover on when I bought it, which was 1.5 hours or so at highway speeds.

Ah, guess the 210 and 212x are different. Didn't think they would be.

Someone posted a 242 on FB. Looks about the same as the 212 should anyone need it for future reference. Looks exactly like I thought it would.

So those curious with a 212x the flat bar has a threaded side. I didn't feel that was enough so I bought a 1/2-30 nylock bolt at Ace hardware for the top piece. Bottom has a bolt and washer. I put some tape largely to keep my clumsy self doing anything stupid.
