To cover or not to cover?

[jeremiah.hough]

Do you guys cover your boat at night while out for the weekend? I never know whether I should cover it when we come in for the evening when we will just be going back out the next day. I usually cover it so i don't have to deal with the dew settling on the boat but most of the other boats at the campground are never covered. I usually let it air out for a couple hours and cover before going to bed.

I left mine uncovered one night and had to spend an hour wiping out dead bugs that were all over the boat. I now cover every night.

If keeping it outside (in an uncovered location), I typically cover it up because of dew. I now keep it in a covered slip and leave it uncovered while I'm at the lake, but I don't have to worry about dew since the slip is covered. I guess it also depends if the boat is under a light (where bugs will get in it) or in a dusty area...

This is simple... Covered. Too many cats in my neighborhood.

Cover it if possible. Blue Herons produce alot of crap if they fly over your boat at the right time!

Cover on and fill up the rear ballast tanks enough to sink the swim platform. Otherwise, the ducks like to hang out at night and have to scrub the crap/feather mess in the morning.
