BOAT COVERTECHNOLOGY

SNAPLESS COVER SYSTEMS FOR PONTOONS & ALUMINUM FISH BOATSOur new Pontoon Rail-Lok™ and Gunnel-Lok™ custom-fit cover systems feature unique fasteners that “lock” into the fence extrusion on pontoons or the receiver slot under the fish boat gunnel. These patent-pending fasteners are engineered to lock & unlock with a simple squeeze. Spaced strategically around the edges of the cover, the fasteners deliver a tight & secure locked-in cover eliminating hard-to-use rail & gunnel snaps and trailering straps.

POLELESS COVER FOR ALUMINUM FISH BOATSThe all-new, patent-pending CoverLift™ system is an innovative built-in cover support system that means no poles, no crawling under the cover, and no pole failures which can lead to cover or boat damage. A heavy-duty rope ratchet and woven strap support system is securely sewn into the underside of the cover. Once the cover is locked into the boat’s gunnel, simply pull on the rope ratchet to create tension on the straps underneath. The straps rise up creating a ridged tent effect so that water will run off the cover and not puddle. This system is designed to be used for both storage and towing.
