Has anyone found a decent aftermarket cover for the SX190? Older threads only bring up the $$$ OEM covers and how great they are, but I need a more budget friendly solution for now. I tried a few generic ones, but they do not fit right. The main issue seems to be the shape of the bow. The generic ones appear to be made for a traditional V shaped bow and there is not enough width up front to accommodate the wider semi-pickle fork type bow on 190s.
I tried the Seamander brand on Amazon. The 17-19' size was just too small to work length and bow width wise. The 20-22' size barely covered the width of the bow, but had extensive amount of overhang on both ends where water will pool. I now have a different cover from Budge, which claims a guaranteed fit for the year, make, model. It fits lengthwise but will not cover the width of the bow.

) that the SX190 has a more pickle-fork bow which caused the cover not to fit in the bow and sent him the pictures. He gave a few options on different sizes, but also said they had one with the same length and width, but for a more square bow, which is what I needed. I had to cut the tag from the original cover and mail it back to them before they sent the replacement. The square bow replacement, B-1211-X5 pictured in this post, fits without too much excess overhang, and pulls taught enough that it may not pool with the OEM shipping cover poles. I have not rain tested yet, but if there is a pooling issue I can solve that with some PVC framework or beach balls. I even have the original non-fitting cover to sell, give away, or do whatever with since they only wanted the tag back.
