Winter Wrapping
- Thread starter CaptJ
- Start date
three 2x4 posts right down the center and up on the bow. Leveled to 5ft. above the deck. 2x4 cut to fit inside the gunnells perpendicular to the posts. 2x4 ridge atop the posts. Makes about a 12 pitch roof [45*] Snow sheds right off. A little snow can gather up in around the windshield area but not much. I let the ridge fly two ft. beyond the motor and about two ft. past the bow. Bungee her down nice and snug and your good to go. I bought a winter cover from Lumberslinger 2/3 yrs ago......made for the v20.....fits nicely, however, you cannot pitch it high enough to shed snow....but.....it's heavy duty enough to HOLD a lot of snow. Funny you should ask CaptJ.....I just got finished setting her up. My 09 season is officially over.

My brother in law (previous owner) had built a large frame using PVC pipe. He "boxed" the radar and had pipes going fore and aft. These pipes were supported with braces on the bow and stern. Plenty tall enough for the snow to slide down.
I know, I was going to take pictures to show this contraption but before I could get the camera we had the thing covered. I'll do it come springtime.

Heavy what?
Nice shed, what size is it? I've been clearing trees for a shed and burning BIG piles as I go.

that is the garage at my work. Yensen Landscape Supply. I work for my parents now that I have moved back to WV. The dirt (dust) in the garage can get pretty deep moving all the heavy equipment in and out all day long, so i wrapped her up like a christmas present to keep the dirt out.

Talk about waiting to the last minute....I just finished wrapping mine for snow fall with flurries starting to fly....BRRRRR.....I have a 20x30 tarp that I keep on it using the bimini for support.....works great for all conditions except snow....got away with it the first two light snow falls this year but dont think I'd get by for this one without finding the bimini a crumpled mess tomorrow morning.
Well it's 10:30am and I have anywhere from 12" to 18" depending on where the wind blew it. Nice light fluffy stuff here.
My cover job worked out great so far. No snow on the V.
Cleared my driveway with the snowblower, best investment ever.
Taking kids outside to sled in a few minutes they been at the window drooling all morning waiting for me.
Hope the rest of you did ok. .

Even with a steep angle on my set-up, the snow stuck to it. I went out with a broom last night and it all came down like an avalanche with a little poke. Almost got fully out of the way for the first one...
here is a few pics from yesterday.
