been doing it for over 6 years now with out any issues
I use many little lines and secure lots of grommets to lots of areas on my trailer (and beach wheels, and spin pole). that way if one blows out, 9 more to hold
after a storm i will re-tighten most of them
lace with bungee the bottom port and starboard grommets for max hold
Is there any reason to be concerned about the tarp rubbing against the sides of the boat in the wind? I thought about doing the same thing, but have concerns about the points of higher pressue.
