Guys,

Any recommendations on how to keep the princess pads from flapping around in the breeze while moving? The pads are currently secured with standard snaps on the pads and a plastic male fitting on the deck. Trouble is the leading edge keeps breaking loose and then the outer pads start waving around.

Currently I use a couple of yellow straps from the center rails to the outer walk railings but it ain't the prettiest solution. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and what you did to prevent it.
 
I had a cover made... It goes in the existing track at the bottom and velcros and snaps on the sides on the rails... And some extra snaps at the top..

Most of the time just lay right on top of the cover

Mine have large flaps that wrap around the center rails, secured by Velcro. But the outer edges use snaps and they are't up to the job

You can see the deck without the pads, and again with. I don't have any tracks that the pads ride in, just the snaps on the outer perimeter. Any suggestions? Pads are too big to keep in the boat and its unsightly to have them flapping in the breeze.
