Bought a new otter sled ... now no cover?

I am also looking for a replacement Otter magnum sized cover. I recently saw what I think was an aftermarket cover that seemed bigger and had extra tie straps/shock cords and maybe an access zipper. This is what I'm looking for, does this ring any bells with anyone?

Dahitman, L&M Fleet Supply in Grand Rapids has Otter Magnum Lodge covers as of last night. If you have an L&M near you they will do an interstore transfer.

I have an old generic snowmobile cover (the kind you find at FF, Northern, or Wally's) that I used on my Frabill. It worked very well, so much that I'm not sure why I went and bought the Frabill cover for mine.

Just an idea in a pinch, if you're not concerned about matching graphics and such.

goodtogo-the big c store sells the cover you described-black and yellow with shock cord and i believe a zipper access but you can't find it or anything ice fishing on their HSOforum right now. you might try calling the rogers store and see what they have. i believe there were 3 or 4 different sizes.

Go to Canvas Craft and get one that fits. The Otter Lodge cover is a piece of junk. Mine was so loose it wouldn't stay on. I complained several times and they kept telling me the new ones were on the way. Finally when I was about to drive out and exchange it, I thought I should ask...All they did was pull the elastic out and tie it off so the elastic fits tighter. Gee I can do that. So now I have a loose fitting cover with tight elastic...Now that's customer service for you! Frabill here I come!

I burned my orignial otter cover and bought a replacement from them. I was sad to see that they have really downgraded the quality. I think I'll take a look at canvas craft if I end up catching this one on fire like I did the last one (don't ask).

UPDATE --

Just wanted to give a BIG thanks to "Good to go" from Grand Rapids. he spotted the cover I needed and put it on the HSOforum and It is on the way for me.

I had my guy "Ron" at L and M in DL check all of the sores and they were all out except Grand Rapids had a MINUS one quantity to Ron called the store and they said they had one but it was reserved for a guy.

I told Ron about what our HSO friend saw and he talked to their sporting goods guy and for some reason it was back on the shelf. Ron told the guy to "Guard it with his life" and transfer it to Detroit Lakes for me.

I want to thank you again and it is nice to have a HUGE group of people out there like there is on HSO HSOforum. It is like having a massive group of friends out there ready to help.

Thanks again

Hitman

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.
