We are looking like we are going to miss out on really heavy winds from Irma, but still expecting tropical storm winds with potential hurricane gusts. We are in a fairly protected cove except from winds coming anywhere from northwest to northeast. I don't have a trailer so pulling the boat isn't an option, but I want some input on what to do as far as covering the boat.
I've read both opinions that a mooring cover is a good idea and a bad idea. I'd like some thoughts from you guys. It's a factory cover with snaps. I'm going to stow and low radar both bimini tops, and I have bumpers on the boat and dock and plenty of lines to multiple attachment points so I'm covered there, just not sure if I should cover or not.

I personally would not cover it.
Best of luck to you.

Re: Mooring cover in a storm
That's the way I'm leaning. If it can't handle 55mph towing I'm hesitant to put it on with 70 mph gusts possible.
