Garelick Boat Cover Supports

Garelick Boat Cover Support Poles: Built for Lasting Protection

When a boat sits idle between outings, its cover is the first and most important line of defense against rain, UV rays, and debris. A cover that sags, however, collects pooling water that adds weight, stretches the canvas, and can cause lasting damage to boat interiors. That's exactly the problem that Garelick engineered their boat cover supports to solve.

Garelick Mfg. Co. — best known by the EEz-In brand name — is a recognized leader in recreational marine hardware. Garelick EEz-In designs corrosion-resistant marine hardware for recreational and light-commercial boats, and that same philosophy of durability-first engineering carries directly into their cover support line.

How Garelick Cover Support Poles Work

Garelick cover support poles keep weather covers tight and help protect boat interiors, while eliminating the pockets that trap water and cause damage. Each pole features a telescoping design so boaters can dial in the exact height needed for their hull. The 7/8" diameter inner tube telescopes into a 1" outer tube with a quick-lock fitting, making setup and teardown fast and tool-free.

Poles are made of anodized aluminum tubing, which resists corrosion and weathering — a critical feature for boats stored in saltwater or high-humidity coastal environments. Anodized aluminum helps prevent saltwater corrosion and weathering, ensuring these supports remain reliable season after season.

Multiple Tip Configurations for Any Cover System

One of the strengths of Garelick's cover support lineup is the variety of tip options available to match different canvas and cover attachment styles:

• Rubber Tip: Rubber tips on both ends fit sock-type canvas covers, cushioning the pole end against the cover material to prevent abrasion and tearing.
• Snap-On Tip: Made of anodized aluminum tubing with a dot fastener/snap-on tip, the adjustable 7/8" diameter pole telescopes into 1" with a quick-lock fitting — ideal for covers with integrated snap hardware.
• Grommet Pin Tip: Featuring a 3/8" grommet pin end, the aluminum pole telescopes into 1" with a quick-lock fitting, making it a natural match for covers that use grommet-style tie-down systems.

Size Options to Fit Your Boat

Garelick offers cover support poles in two primary size ranges to accommodate a wide variety of vessel sizes. The shorter model extends from 26½" to 48", while the longer pole extends from 36" all the way up to 64", giving boaters the flexibility to properly tent covers on compact runabouts and larger center consoles alike. A simple twist locks and unlocks the pole to telescope it to the desired length, so no extra tools are ever needed.
