Winter cover opinions?

[captedit]

Good Morning! I have a 2023 Yamaha 195S stored in a covered slip in East TN. The winters can get cold, but it rarely snows. I have the Yamaha cover, which of course I will snug up for storage on the slip (see pic). Would there be any benefit in also throwing the storage cover over it? I'm thinking NO, I want it to breathe, but wanted to check just in case.

I've always heard that you should not double cover. The gap between them can get moldy with no real way to know till too late.

Yeah I'm thinking the same, thanks.

Empire covers aka Budge has a 60% off sale going on for sometime now. I have one of their covers that goes over my entire boat, including the T top, and it is the cover I use 99.9% of the time, is easy to put on and it protects everything from the cap rails on up from the #1 enemy the sun, and the #2 enemy hail, it takes me maybe 5 mins on, and about 5 mins off, I have been known to put it on quite a bit faster if I’m racing a thunderstorm and possible hail, If you want a good cover to cover up the whole boat then get one of their covers, they don‘t look as cool, but I think they are a better cover. The cover is now three seasons old, and while the most sun exposed parts are fading a bit, it is still in good order, my OEM Yamaha cover states to keep it out of the sun???? The OEM cover is reserved for towing and trip stop overs.
