Is there anyone that sells a cheaper cover that is easy to put on the boat with maybe elastic to go around the corners of the boat and provide cover? I have the premium Yamaha cover but looking for something to easily put on and take off while its anchored in the water overnight, does this exist?

Not sure if it exists but the premium cover used to be a pain for me when in water now I have it down to 5 min or less. Best of luck in your search.

I have found the Yamaha premium mooring about as fast and easy as any ? IF I'm at the lake for the weekend and will be using boat the next day , I just cover but do not ratchet down or secure transom straps. About 2-3 minutes. When leaving for good , I secure plastic connectors on each side , and ratchet both sides evenly. Maybe an additional minute or 2 ?

good point, I've only used the premium cover once since purchasing my boat. Looks like I'll take that with and I'm sure it will work out from what you guys said

I use the premium cover when leaving the boat at the slip between trips. If it's just overnight during a trip, I don't cover the boat. I do remove electronics, and wakeboards....outta sight, outta mind

We do a camping trip in northern Wisconsin for a week and anchor the boat off of the beach right by our campsite. I would be ok with leaving it uncovered as I'm not worried about theft or anything, I just don't want to be cleaning the boat for a week when I get back.

Usually the worst over a weekend in Tahoe is the dust and pollen. Luckily that's just hit it with some Hot Sauce and Windex and she's pretty clean if needed
