How to Determine the Correct Sized Taylor Made Support Bow for Boat Covers

Question:

Im looking to purchase two or three Taylor Made bow supports for a 12 ft. aluminum boat with a 60 mid line measurement. What length is correct for that boat? Thanks for your help with this.

I am not 100% sure what measurement you are meaning when you mention a mid line measurement. But the Taylor Made Support Bow for Boat Covers can be installed front to back or side to side in a boat cavity to provide support for the cover to keep it taut, I have included a diagram showing this.

You will just need to measure across the opening area and get the correct sized bow support. These will install using the Taylor Made Support Bow Sockets for Boat Covers # 369935.

We do have these available in 2 different sizes:

- Taylor Made Support Bow for Boat Covers # 369924 (6' long)
- Taylor Made Support Bow for Boat Covers # 369925 (7' long)

When in doubt on the length that you need, I would recommend going with the longer length because these can be cut down to size.
