Got a text from Josh.
The blue snap on cover that covers the cockpit started to unsnap.

He took it off.

That happened to me once. It was after I had "lubricated" the snaps with candle wax. Never did that again. They just came off too easily.

Hopefully it won't rain too hard.

I had my shippers tape the front edges down.
Never had one come lose but have heard it happening. I tow every where with mine on.

Me too!

This one was lubricated though.

I like the shippers tape idea though, BBP.
I'll mention that to Josh.

Btw, did your shipper's tape hurt the boat in anyway?

I use shrink wrap tape and tape 1 foot on both side of front cover too. It then stays on

Good thought. It might be hard for him to get a hold of though. The other bad thing if it's waxed really good the tape might not stick to anything.
