[0014]Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the XXX. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

[0015]Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of an embodiment of the watercraft deck cover system. The watercraft deck cover system 10 comprises a cover member 11. The cover member 11 is dimensioned to cover a deck of a watercraft 12 and extend over the hull thereby covering structures situated on the deck. The cover member 11 is defined by a perimeter. In one embodiment, the cover member 11 is made of a waterproof material, such that the cover member 11 will prevent water from penetrating the cover member 11 and being displaced onto the deck of the watercraft 12.

[0016]A plurality of fasteners 13 are disposed along the perimeter of the cover member 11. The plurality of fasteners 13 are conf...

Abstract

A watercraft deck cover system. The system provides a cover member. The cover member has fasteners placed along the perimeter of the cover member. A connector is on the top of the cover member and is designed to have a cord attached to the connector. The cord is secured to a frame at an overhead arm extending from the frame. When the fasteners are secured to a watercraft and connector is elevated by the cord, water is prevented from pooling on the deck of the watercraft.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 607,477 filed on Dec. 19, 2017. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a watercraft deck cover system. Watercraft must be protected from outdoor elements in order to maintain both their functionality and their aesthetic value. In order to prevent outdoor elements, such as rain, snow or tidal waters from entering the deck of a watercraft causing potential structural damage or promoting the growth of mold or mildew.[0003]Currently available watercraft covers typically supply a cover which is stretched across the deck of the watercraft to prevent dirt and debris from being blown onto the deck. However, these covers create a problem wherein moisture, such as rainwater, may cause pooling upon the cover. When water poo...
