272 mooring/trailerable cover

I am looking for a cover I can tow with for a 272 with arch and swim platform. I have reached out to "Bald Mike's" with no response. Does anyone have any recommended resources.
Thanks

Re: New to me 2006 272

The one for the floor is present and white, the one for the starboard bulkhead is missing. To me it resembles a Marelon through hull fitting?

Re: New to me 2006 272

Trying to replace the retainer/receiver for the sliding bolt on the bow walk through door where it secures to starboard hole and the hole in the floor. Any ideas on what to use or where to find something ?

Thanks

Re: New to me 2006 272

The boat has an onboard battery charger and the Blue Sea battery switch - 1, 1+2, 2, off. Where should the switch be when the charger is plugged in?

Re: Engine Hatch motor will not run to close.

Thx kp01.

Btw, on Memorial Day weekend, I fixed my intermittent engine hatch issues. The hatch would raise properly but was very slow to lower.

After troubleshooting the Bennett HPU, I realized there was nothing wrong with the power unit.

I then turned to the dash switch. Found two issues ...

Re: New to me 2006 272

Thank you guys. I need to access the back of the dash to replace speedo, tach and work on lubricating steering. There is a carpet covered wall preventing access and you can’t access from under the helm as it is completely covered. How do I get in there?

Re: New to me 2006 272

Hopefully can get some pics soon. I am reworking trailer bunks before I can get it loaded. I noticed the bow seat in front of the helm has pulled loose from the hinge. The hinge is secure to the fiberglass but the screw have pulled out of the seat back. Are the seat backs wood, fiberglass? What is ...

New to me 2006 272

Hope to acquire a 2006 272 with 496 mercruiser bravo 3. I noted the steering was significantly stiffer compared to other bravo 3s in previous Sea Rays we have had. Almost feels like manual steering in a 70s pickup.

Also noted the trim up switch does not respond unless you completely depress the ...
