Shrink Wrap
as soon as the weather
permits. Shrink wrap done correctly should have vents
installed. If there are no vents and the temps heat up cut

wrap on your boat may cause gelcoat rash (chafing)
There is a product that can be used to prevent chafing. It’s
a plastic insulated sheet approx. 18” wide that goes around
the boat before it is shrink wrapped; specially wrapped for
transportation.
