Kinda what I figured. I know there is nothing illegal traveling without covers. It's just a lot of men on here really take care of their boats so I have a hard time seeing them heading down the interstate with rain, snow, dirty highway crud flying up on their babies. Some of the drives are hours long and in metro areas. Even when I installed an Ultrex on my rig the cover didn't fit right going down the highway and it pissed me off.
I had Aurora Canvas make a custom cover for my boat designed to fit everything, but with my graphs removed (I gimble mount them on heavy duty Johnny Ray mounts so they are easily removed). I am not leaving expensive electronics in my boat at a motel. I travel a lot and keep the boat covered all the time when traveling more than an hour drive or if wet outside.

Are you crazy? Travel with a cover on? If you do that, others can't see the names on the gunnel!
My Rangers travel cover does a pretty good job covering everything. It'a little light around the Ultrex but it still covers the cap. I never tow with the cover no matter how far I'm traveling. It beats the crap out of the finish on the boat and causes excessive wear on a very expensive cover that I don't want to have to replace. The only time it's used is if I'm overnighting out of town to protect from prying eyes, rain, dew or tree sap.
I have duel stacked 12" units up front on a BBT mount. It only looks like it's a couple inches taller than TM. Don't see an issue with cover fitting.

My cover sits in a roller tote for traveling trips. It's made to fit my current electronic configuration. If I were to add more, I would reach out to a few of the local places around here and have it modified.
Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
Good notes here. I really need to go get mine slightly modified. Every time I winch my cover down it moves my active target. Wouldn't take much, but I don't want my cover flapping going down the interstate.
