Does Your Mooring Cover Leak?

[drewkaree]

Thanks for the suggestion @drewkaree - I had to go research your posts on boat boobs. They look excellent for towing, but tdo you use those for daily storage? Wouldn't 3-4 minutes to inflate/deflate get old for daily storage?

The Ryobi inflator that looks like a gun can inflate those in 2-3 minutes, and if you remove the nozzle and put it on the exhaust of the inflator, they're deflated in seconds.

If there's storage nearby, like my situation, I don't even deflate them, or just half deflated if necessary

Mine has gotten worse over time. Curious on the waterproofing if it would work with an older cover.

My boat was shrink-wrapped for winter yesterday, however the guys told me that my boat was bone dry inside when they removed the mooring cover. We did get some rain the previous night, but nothing substantial like the rain from my original post.

At this point, my cover has recieved a total of 4 coats of 303. 3 outside and 1 inside.

Been in Fl about 8 years.............it works but only last approx 1 year in this southern sun.

My boat cover is 4 years old Sunbrella and its almost time to start the yearly coating. Sunbrella claims a 10 year water proof.....not in FL sun to hot and direct.

You use the waterproofing stuff every year and it works?
