Taylor Made Boat Cover Supports

Taylor Made Boat Cover Supports Built to Keep Water Off Your Cover

A boat cover that sags in the middle collects rain, snow and debris. The weight of that water stretches fabric, stresses seams and encourages mold and mildew. Taylor Made's boat cover support lineup tackles the problem directly. It raises the center of the cover so water sheds instead of pocketing. The company offers adjustable poles and complete strap-and-pole systems, so owners can match the support to the boat and cover they already have.

Adjustable Aluminum Support Poles

The core of the range is a family of telescoping aluminum poles. The Super Support Pole (#11992) adjusts from 36" to 64", while the 3-piece pole (#11981) runs 22" to 51-1/2" with snap and crutch tips only, and the adjustable pole (#11991) spans 36" to 64" with a crutch tip only.

The Super Support Pole is the most versatile of the group. It is described as three support poles in one, supplied with a male canvas snap, a grommet tip and a plain end cap. That means it works whether your cover has a female canvas snap, a grommet or neither. It locks with a screw clamp and uses a durable plastic adjuster to set the correct height.

Storage is where the 3-piece design earns its place. It collapses down to 22" for easier storage, which suits boaters with limited space in a locker, garage or tow vehicle. Aluminum construction keeps the poles rustproof and corrosion-resistant, an important trait for gear that lives in damp environments. Non-marring rubber tips protect surfaces at each end.

Complete Support Systems for Pontoon and Runabout Covers

When a single pole is not enough, Taylor Made also offers kits that build a frame under the cover. The Boat Cover Support System includes 50 feet of webbing, quick release buckles, a support pole that snaps to the webbing, and two hooks that attach to the transom. Its pole adjusts from 28" to 48". The straps form a double ridge line under the cover, and the hooks are non-marring.

Pontoon owners have a dedicated option, since the long, flat deck of a pontoon is especially prone to pooling. The Pontoon Cover Support System includes two adjustable anodized support poles with snap ends, 60 feet of 1" polypropylene webbing, quick release adjuster buckles and four injection molded hooks that secure to the decking. Strap-based kits are also available for speedboats and bass boats, designed to create a frame that keeps the cover taut so it sheds water and debris.

Choosing the Right Taylor Made Support

• Match the attachment: Check whether your cover has a male snap, female snap or grommet at the support point, then choose a pole with the right end fittings.
• Check the height range: You need enough extension to create a real slope. A pole that is too short will not clear the water.
• Consider boat length and style: Single-pole systems suit smaller runabouts, while longer boats and pontoons benefit from two-pole kits with strap frames.
• Plan for storage: Telescoping and 3-piece designs collapse for off-season stowage.
• Use more than one when needed: Larger covers can use multiple supports to prevent sagging between pole points.
