    Rt188/198p cover

    How well does the ranger cover hold up towing down the road ?
    If on a dirt road will it keep dust out , or just fill the boat up with dust ?

    I have NO problems with mine. It keeps the rain and dust out very well.
    I use ALL the straps and the ratchet tighten down. WORKS FOR ME

    I just opened the box to my cover yesterday. No ratchet straps! I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.

    No issues towing with my cover. Mine came with the ratchet clamps (boat buckles) but I stopped using them. Instead I'm using a single ratchet strap, works better for my application!

    Same thing happened to me with my rt178 cover i got. No ratchets or hardware so my dealer was able to give me what i needed the next day.
