I have an '06 240 Sundeck. I had a custom Sunbella fabric cover made for the boat right after I purchased it. It covers the boat and wraps down around the hull to just a few inches above the water line, so that it not only keeps out the winter weather, it protects the gelcoat year round. There is no other cover (carport, etc) over the boat. Here is the problem. In the summer during warmer periods, it has gotten so hot under the cover that it has actually damaged parts of the boat: The adhesive holding in the headliner in the head compartment gave way, the shelf that houses the stereo unit literally melted and deformed. I'm trying to figure out what I could do to prevent such severe heat build up, without actually removing the cover itself. A small fan connected to a T-stat might help, but I don't know if it would really remove any of the heat, just circulate it. Any ideas are appreciated. :huh:
