Graph covers

I am sure there are many good options to strap graph covers on while trailering. I have been looking for a good method and would love to hear what others have used successfully. Thanks in advance.

Gets the job done

Beat me to it.

Don’t over think it. No one cares if your graph cover retaining method is state of the art or not.

I use Velcro straps. You can get them on Amazon very cheap

Thanks man. I was literally losing sleep wondering whether people thought I was doing it right. Your post really made me feel better about myself. Can't believe I was putting so much thought and research into something so simple. And yes, I am being sarcastic.

Sounds like you need your pillow fluffed

LOL. I absolutely need my pillow fluffed.

The reason I asked is because I finally have a boat with hi-tech cool graphs that actually have covers and instead of trial by error and losing my covers flying down the road a few times figuring it out on my own I thought I'd reach out to the experts to see what works best for everyone.

So thanks to those who have responded.

Velcro straps. Been using them for years. Buy it in the roll and cut to fit.

I have found these to be superior to bungee cords and tarp straps.

Bigg Lugg Tool Straps

I went with velcro straps.

I use these because I thought they were pretty cool. They have changed the design a little and raised the price some, but still pretty cool in my opinion. https://boatefx.com/products/boatefx-electronic-graph-cover-trap

You can get something similar from Lloyd at Xcite Baits...not only local but a friend of the site.

That's one expensive bungee cord.

I just pop off my Garmins and put them in a storage compartment while driving. Takes 20 seconds to put them back on

Most secure the covers on while driving to help prevent screen damage from flying debris/pebbles/etc.

Other than your bow mount, which could possibly get a rock hit , why would you even put one on the console? It faces away from any debris that might fly at it while traveling and most of them are behind the windshield. If I'm going more than an hour away, I normally pull my graphs off anyway. Had two stolen off the boat at gas stations. Star Mart at Fork was the most memorable. Broad daylight with folks around. Some of those meth heads have stones like bowling balls.

Yes, if you have the ability to easily remove them and store them in a more secure location; that would be ideal (which is what I do for the bow graphs).

Thanks Fellas.

Me too... Dan
