There are two snaps on the inside of my trailering cover:

They seem to line up with where the poles should be attached but there doesn't appear to be any reciprocal snaps on them. Anyone have any ideas?
 
I have two sets of poles, one set for the trailer cover and one set morning cover. Do you have poles with the snaps on the top of them?

Hmmm.... Nope, I just have the poles with the flat tops and straps to tie down. I only have the trailering cover. Are those for the trailering or mooring covers? It seems like they would be way easier to use than the straps.

I have the same Cover and My poles have corresponding snaps to hold in place.

Morning cover with the snaps. Trailer cover uses the straps.

I'm gonna look at getting some poles with snaps. It seems way easier to not having to deal with straps.
 
The straps work great IMO. Cover stays very secure and tight on mine
 
Check on the Prism cover at BoatCovers.com . They make them as a custom fit, very durable, waterproof and remain pliable at all temperatures. Maybe a bit better protection than the manufacturer boat cover, but they do require 7 - 8 tie down straps. BoatCovers.com custom make them to fit the boat based on model (Wakeboardtower etc.). It would be even better if they made a deal with Scarab, Wellcraft, Glastron... to get dimensional drawings of the various boat models, so they could make exact fit with the single strap, rear ratcheting system. Price for the Prism is ~$516
 
After speaking with the dealer, they said I had been given the wrong poles and replaced them with the snap version. Way easier! Probably cut my covering time by 1/3rd!
