Abstract: An improved system for attaching boat covers to boats is provided. In the preferred embodiment, a male/female connecting system is employed where one-half of the connecting system is attached to the cover via length-adjustable straps and the other half of the connecting system is attached to the boat via an attachment strip that provides for lateral movement of the connectors. Thus, one-half of the connecting system may be moved farther away or closer to the edge of the boat cover and the other half of the connecting system may be moved laterally along the boat side for easy connections. After all of the connections are made, the straps may be tightened to remove any slack from the boat cover and create a tight fit of the boat cover over the opening of the boat.
