Yes I do. I pull the rope pretty taught then place poles as Paul has stated. Most everyone that has this issue water pools the same. Here is a pic of before
I placed mine in the corners near the rear drain holes. You might have to adjust after the first time it rains with the location and height of the pole.
Yes it is a common issue on all sites that this is asked. Suggestions are to buy beach balls and inflate and leave on the rear seats or go on Amazon and purchase additional boat cover poles. I purchased two more poles and haven’t had an issue since.
Trying to see if anyone has compared the 300 to the 350 offered on the 270sdx. Is it worth the money to upgrade for 50hp? I just ordered a sdx and have about a week to make up my mind on the engine. Thanks
