    Transom cover?

    I have an 2018 190 TX. It is stored outside by necessity. I have a boat cover, from BPS/Tracker, made for the 190 TX. They boat stays dry except for winter. I believe the snow is building on the transom. When it melts it leaks in, (all theory). Does someone make a transom cover for this boat. I checked BPS and found nothing. Or, do you simply lash on a heavy duty tarp, over the back of your boat, for winter. The heavy duty tarp is the direction I'm leaning. And, before you ask, we got a little over 30 inches of snow for all of last year

    Might want to move your question over to the Tin section. Looks like the Tracker section is coming to a close.

    If its a dowco cover like mine was there is an open area around the rigging. We just put a black towel over it to keep cats out cuz ours is under an awning but you will likely have to make something yourself for that or have something custom made.

    Put a trap over the back. Before you put the cover on. Water runs over the cover to the trap and off. Trap over cover will defeat there purpose.

    What's up with that?

    Edit: Never mind, just read the comments in the tin boat forum.
