Hi all looking for an advice on how to put on and fix the side skirts in a g23. Bought them from Nautique parts. Best

OK, this isn't so bad once you get the trick of it. First thing you need to do is cut some of the pipe insulation. These fit much better if the pipe insulation inside the hem stops about six inches short of the skirt. In other words, there will be six inches of skirt fabric on EACH END with no pipe insulation in it. Next it's all about getting the cinch strap tight enough, but not too tight. If it's "guitar string" tight, you simply cannot pull it out far enough to get the skirt started. If it's too loose, the skirt will fall out on its own. This is just a matter of practice. Lay the skirt out so it's mostly being supported by the lift beams. Start at the back of the boat. Slide the skirt in and scoot it as far back as you can get it. Now there are a few gyrations. You have to sorta hold the cover down while you wrap your arms around the lift post so it doesn't slide out. Work your way to the front of the boat stuffing the hem under the cinch strap as you go. About three feet from the front of the boat, stop stuffing the skirt in. Instead, grab the very end of the skirt, stuff THAT in and then slide it towards the bow. This will leave you with just a couple of feet of hem that needs to be pushed up under the cinch strap. If this doesn't make sense, I'll shoot a video for it.Comment
