cover or not

Uncovered. The more salt you pick up on your sled, then the less there is left to rot away our trucks and trailers!

I have an enclosed and still put an undercover and cover on, can you say Anal.

I would prefer not to cover mine because of the fact that the salt still gets under the covers and when the cover is flapping around in the wind it gets all scratched up to me the best option is to put a salt shield on the front of the open trailer and wash the sleds off when you are done riding.

So who would want to trailer their sled(s) on an open trailer, salt shield or not, without a cover on the sleds and once they get to wherever you are going to go for a ride, and your sleds are covered with salt, snow, slush, etc., your going to ride them? Seriously?

I laugh when I see a guy towing his sleds down the road w/o covers on anything other than a dry road.

I've used covers for several years on sleds, most which had dark-colored hoods, never had any problems with scratches, scuffs from the covers, being that they were oem covers for the particular sleds and I'd put a bed sheet (poor man's undercover) on prior to the cover.

Then went to an enclosed trailer, never would go back to an open-bed.

View attachment 31120 First year of snowmobiling I had an open trailer. First trip no covers, Had to wash the sleds before we could ride. Second trip, bought real nice "trailering" covers. The salt and crap got between the covers and high gloss paint for 460 miles. So much for the custom paint job on the '79 SRX. Third trip and every trip since, ENCLOSED TRAILER.

If it is going to be a very sloppy trip. I would do like above a old bed sheet over the hood then one of those 1.99 plastic paint drop cloth, then my cover,and your good to go. I didn't worry to much about the rear of the sled.
