Are there different size covers for the different 25ft models? The one I got from the dealer is way loose. Especially the rear strap aft of the ratcheting strap.

Had a hard rain the other night and when I checked in on the boat this is what I found.

My 255 cover had the wrong length straps. When I took it back to the dealer they said I wasn’t the only one. It is possible your strap a are wrong.

Did they give you a new one? I’m thinking of cutting and re-sewing my back strap but then I won’t be able to exchange it.
 
That’s gonna stretch your cover out good. Hopefully you can get it resolved quick. I would go with no cover before letting it pool up like that until you can get it fixed. Prolly putting a lot of stress on the cleats on side of boat also.
 
No they didn’t replace it. They sent it to their canvas guy but I think the clerk wrote the instructions wrong. They added length to the wrong strap section. I am planning now to just try and fix it myself this weekend.
