Thanks Phil, I run the support beam from the front of the bow rail, up over the T-top, and down to the stern just in front of the motor. I wrap the tarp pretty tightly in the front around the winch post, and in the rear have tried both covering the motor and not, and I pull it as tightly as I can to the hull. There's no real openings, but as you know, the wind will find a way.

Bob, that was my thinking in going with a tarp vs shrink wrap. Figured it would generate less waste the more seasons I could get from one tarp. If I can set this up the way I hope, I don't think 3 seasons is unreasonable.
