    1880 travel cover

    I got the Dean's cover with my 1880. I'm trying to use it for the first time and I'm having a heck of a time getting it on. Does this cover fit over an ultrex? Is there a secret to getting it on? Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by Dean's cover. My Vexus cover fits great with the Ultrex with or without the stand poles.

    I believe there is a video showing how to install the cover.

    My Vexus cover fits my 1880/shortest shaft Ultrex just fine.

    Possibly the OP has a longer shaft motor and they supplied the wrong cover, if it’s too short?

    I heard back from Dean's. They make the covers for vexus. Originally they weren't designed for the ultrex. They are going to help me get it fixed. Their customer service is excellent

    I added an extra "S" hook on my strap to give me just enough length to make it easier to install it by myself.

    Mine goes on in about 5 minutes. Great covers. Never used the poles.

    you tow it with out poles? I hate to tow a boat with a cover, cant see behind the boat. But I do it anyway when traveling more that two to four hours.

    I use the poles sometimes and sometimes not. Cover works great both ways.
