Ok guys I ordered an 18 ZX 250 last week with Lowrance 12 in dash and lowrance 9 in bow. Will I be able to tow with the covers not blowing off? Or is there a trick I can do to keep them on. Not crazy about towing with the covers off. Thanks for any help.
I don’t trust them to stay. I Velcro them on while traveling.
Sometimes.... i've lost quiet a few.

bungee is what you seek
I have a 2016 XZ225. I've lost two from the bow already. Now I never cover it. Console stays just fine.
Never cover either one .
Console stays just fine. My bow unit is on a RAM mount, so I just put it face down when towing. Haven't lost one yet.

Never had an issue when they were the factory mounts.
I strap them now that they’re on Precision mounts and sit at a different angle.
My 2015's are still on, and they are factory-mounted.

I use mini bungee cords on mine... Not flush mounted.. Got mine mounted on precision mounts, I wouldn't trust the covers to stay...

Most will but not all, I speak from experience.
I lost from one in bad waves then again crossing a RR track so I added some velcro small inch long a couple places to snuggle the fit...so far so good...
I suggest the bow one be removed if traveling until you figure a good snug material...also wrote inside bow one name/ph so may get returned but
overall it is a HASSLE.

They will hold at first, but eventually from taking them on and off the clips where down and they will go flying.
Thanks for all the info guys I really don't want to tow with covers off and since they are flush mounted it looks like I better velcro them or figure something out.
Congratulations on your new boat! You will love it! I bought a 2016 ZX225 and love mine. The covers will eventually get lost....for the actual cost of these Lowrance units, one would think that the manufacturer could invest a bit more of the technology they have into including some sort of a cover that latches instead of snapping lightly!
Bungee cords here.
I believe Lowrance instructions say that these covers are NOT a travel cover.
flush mount would be a bit more tricky, but I took my flush mount out and added a cup holder so I can get into the bow area for wiring etc. ram mount on both the bow and console area so the bungee strap is my answer. I guess I should have read a bit more closely.
Mine are on Mounts so I use a Improve Bundeze cord that I leave on the mount. I couldn't keep up with the regular bundie cords.
