Ducks back Cover Option

After a lot of deliberation this was my budget cover solution for a 6.5m redbay with console (with screen) a chunky A-Frame and 2 engines.

I have a professional heavy duty cover for the console and all seating but needed to protect the tubes from dust and sun.

I bought size 5 Ducksback cover (20-22 ft) and after a quick chat with them I learnt that the 22-24ft size 6 was the same width, just longer.

It is about 6 inches too short on the sides where it goes over the windscreen. The length, if I didn’t have to deal with an a-frame is perfect. All the straps etc are easy to use and fit.

I then simply cut a rectangle out for it to go over the a-frame, theory being the engines are protected by independent covers (also ducksback).

I am pretty happy with it for circa £140 solution. Hope this post helps anyone else suffering from deliberation.
