Trailering dodger question
Waiting for the snow to melt before installing my new BWY narrow dodger. I trailer the boat a great deal and have been told that it would need to be removed for speeds higher than 35mph. Anyone come up w/ a quick method of removing / setting up ? Will the frame fold down w/ out the covering? Appreciate any tips re: first time drilling and installing too.

Same here. Dowsar dodger, but on an
, and put the canvas below. Sometimes I don't even bother folding the frame, to save a few seconds.
