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!

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

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
