support: when using this cover, it is necesarry to use a support pole?

It is necessary to use a support pole to keep water from pooling in the back. A 19.5 boat should use an E cover. The D cover only fits 17.5-18.5 boats. I use the D on my 17.5 and can tell you it will not fit a 19.5 boat.

That's exactly what I have mine on. However it seems a little large for the pole and I'm afraid that the pole will eventually break during a storm. I will be ordering the 4x4 adaptor and moving the barn to a pole where I removed a 20 year old mart

I suppose you could however I did not keep mine because it was poor quality and there was not enough tension in the pole to keep it upright. I wouldn't buy this product.

Though this is not a question, I agree with the non-fitting issue. I was also disappointed with the minimal gauge of the plastic compared with the old cover that I was replacing. We did not take the old cover off, but instead placed the Shelter Logic cover on top of the Costco cover, so did not suffer the rain pooling between the poles. I will not buy again, but instead get a complete new canopy at Costco next time. Remember, no fault of Amazon!!

Wow - what an excellent idea! Yes, that would be good support as long as you have good, anchored pole.

I don't believe you have to do that but I'm not positive. This is my first winter with the cover. We are in central New York and are going through a real rough winter and the cover seems to be holding up very well though.

I keep my factory snap-on canvas cover on with it's support poles and put this cover over the top.

Yes, when I bought it, the pole and all hardware were included and easy to use. I elected to pour cement into a bucket & place a slightly larger pole into the cement to act as a sleeve so I could insert the included pole into it and remove if ever necessary. The weight was really important for me as I live in an area that can get some strong winds occasionally.

There are two separate extensions for each pole. You have to loosen and extend each independently from the other extension.

You can use one side or no sides. They are attached seperatley with a bungy cord and the side poles are only used if you have the sides up. You woukd be surprised how much more space you have when the sides are used.

We returned our unit due to a malfunction, so we do not know if it requires a pole or not.

No, you'd need one that mounts and holds the cover up high. Friends have your set up, just pull it off and save the hassle!

After reading some reviews, I chose not to use the sleeve. Without the sleeve the pole is pretty sturdy.

the one I bought has two grommets and no way to slip it over a pole unless you removed the grommets and rip the bottom stitches. But then you would have trouble "attaching" it so that it wouldn't slide.

I do not think it would be a good idea since what supports the top part has supports, but I think the best thing to do is call the manufacturer and ask them-

Yes it has support throughout the whole cover very well put together. With its tension adjusters makes it really easy to keep cover taught. Minimal sag under pressure.

You have to provide your own pole if you plan to mount it on a pole. My are mounted on stone columns.
