I have a pretty nice cover for my boat but it leaves the tower exposed. I just want to protectmy stuff. This is the first year i didn'thave indoor storage availability So kinda bummed. Plan on taking it to my shop and warming it up but for next year i want to be ready to wrap the tower somehow.20210205_074747.jpg
 
@Speedling I no longer live in Wisconsin, but if I did, I would probably be using what I use down here. Boat cover I would cover the boat just as you have done in your photo. Then I would drape the shade sail over the top of the tower. Here is mine. My boat cover As long as the tower does not have any sharp corners to abrade the fabric, it could work very well. I also think the price is reasonable.
 
Do soundbar and speakers and wiring for Bimini solar hold up good all exposed all winter?

Probably not, which is why I am concerned! I had some bags for the speakers but they ripped off already which is a bummer. Wiring shouldn't be as much a problem as long as ends are properly covered.
 
The one winter my 242ls spent in Maine this is how it looked. Shrikes wrapped over the tower with supports for the long centerline bow. Not cheap but worth it.
