[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 473197, member: 12995"] Yeah, don't trust the float switch that has the metal ball inside that rolls back and forth as it floats up. I had one of those not work (the ball didn't roll down to complete the circuit) and the boat filled up over the transom. With the flotation, the boat stayed afloat and the motor was above the water but it took me weeks to flush all the mud out of the nooks and crannies and I'm sure the wiring was compromised. As for the wind with the cover, just make sure you tie the cover to the boat somehow, it will blow off. I would find mine half in the water when the good summer thunderstorms rolled through. [/QUOTE]
