Hi Richard, Why not get 1/2 dozen, or so, regular sail slugs that fir the larger opening and have them sewn to the Doyle cover? It's not like you need a continuos bolt rope to do the intend job (of holding the bottom of the cover to the boom). Cheers, Russ ex- Sweet, 35

Hi Brian, From your description posted a while ago, you do not have a system full of air. Nor do you have a filter full of air. You have at most a few inches of air in the tank pick-up & hose rune. Is this still the case? Isn't this Yanmar a self-bleeding version once it's running? BTW,
