I'm curious if anyone else has had an issue? Or any better cover recommendations? I have some of the rubber wrap around also, that I don't use because they kinda suck Dynosaur Performance Legend alpha 211 Turbo Honda 8.51@179

The Velcro does collect stuff over time, so I clean them by putting them in the laundry once a year. You must have gotten bug spray with Deet on them, or something. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
