Will this cover stay on the boat while docked without the straps connected or would it blow off?

It really depends how protected from the wind you are. There are some "elastic" type sinchers at the bow and stern, but I would not feel 100% confident. I only use it when towing or winter storage, and I strap the cover to the trailer. I would not recommend it. It is a pretty good fit, but definitely not custom, leaving room for wind to get underneath it and whip it around, especially when not tied down. Hope that helps.

More than likely it will blow off. We fastened with straps and so far it has made it threw 60 mph winds. Good luck

It will blow away if it's not staked down.I did not receive stakes with mine as advertised but I took it to the beach anyway.So,I put sand in about 6 ziploc bags trying to hold it down.Didn't work.So,I ended up sitting in it the whole time.It was a very windy day.If it's not windy,it will stay down.

I have a 17 foot bass tracker boat with high mounted seats and the cover has plenty of room to be bigger. I can't say for sure with your boat but I would guess that it should have no problem.

I was using a two-pole and strap solution, but it would sag and let water collect. Also, the straps started to get brittle and break within a year. I made a structure out of 1" PVC and it uses four poles with PVC struts extending to the rails. The struts make it a little difficult to move in the boat while putting the cover on or taking it off, but it keeps the water off.

I wouldn't chance it. It comes off every once in awhile in big windy storms. But if you did a few extra things to secure the tie down clips on the side and front you should be ok.

Never had a problem with the cover blowing off. I dont even use the velcro tabs. The cover is constructed from heavy/durable material and gravity does most of the work. BBQ would tip over before cover came off

yes. it folds down flat. i fold it down and cover my boat when not in use or when towing. how it folds down or the angle would depend on how far forward or aft you mount it.

I don't know of a cover that would fit and prevent water from pooling on it. I bail mine if it gets water in it or turn mine over when I leave it for an extended period of time. It is pretty easy to flip over and back as it it stable and not that heavy but I'm 6ft and 200 pounds. I do that on a dock or on land and it works unless you have a motor on it and then you need to remove the motor 1st.

I had that problem with my Motorhome on the beach in terrible winds. I bought a webbed strap and attached it to the door. At least with it it would not get away from me. I attached it at the lock. I loosened the srews of the lock and slipped the strap under it and tightened it back up. I place the hemmed edge under the lock. The strap I bought at Walmart for $2.

I use it as a dock cover and use tie downs to keep it in place for wind. It is light aluminum tubing, works for light duty..def would not work for heavy snow.

There is elastic around the bottom on the ends to hold it in place. There are no additional straps or pull strings. I have found that my cover blows off on very windy days. There is at least one set of reinforced holes at the bottom on the sides. I took a piece of wire, ran it through one of the holes, under the car, through the hole on that side, back over the top of the car and tied it back down by the first hole. Even with very strong winds, my cover has not blown off since.

This cover has a zipper and velcro and is the best cover I ever bought or considered.I have it on my pontoon boat inside cabin on a tilting bracket.

The hole is below the cover , I use my for storage only and take it off when I'm towing or running the boat. I'm not sure how long it would stay on at high speeds. I'm using mine to protect from the elements, hope this helps.

Just tested mine for you. It will close without strapping it in, however it does work very well if you just leave it on while using it not alot of bulk and not alot of added head (at least on my end)

I have not tried this, though I don't think it would blow off, it stays on pretty good. You might want to check the laws in your area though

Hi Richard, I have a necky kayook with a collapsible seat. My husband has the hard one piece seat. We both use this pad and love it. Straps hold this to the seat by the upper back part but it mostly stays in place because of it's weight. They provide hardware for it to attach to your boat, but you really don't need it. The only cons about this pad is it's weight.

Yes it will blow out. I use mine in back of horse trailer. Blocked from wind. Love this shower.
