Garelick Boat Cover Support Pole 94304, 26 to 48 Inch Telescoping, Pin Tip for Grommet, Anodized Aluminum, Set of 4
The Garelick 94304 Boat Cover Support Pole is a telescoping aluminum pole designed to hold a boat cover up and away from the deck, cockpit, and interior surfaces. By keeping the weather cover tight and tented rather than resting flat, it eliminates the low spots and pockets where rainwater and debris collect, which helps prevent sagging, staining, and water damage to seats, gauges, and upholstery underneath. Each pole telescopes and adjusts from 26 inches to 48 inches, then locks at the desired length with a simple twist-to-lock, twist-to-unlock action, so no tools are needed to set up or break down the support system. The pin tip is made to seat into the grommet of a boat cover, holding the pole in place while the cover is on. The pole body is anodized aluminum, which resists corrosion from sun, rain, and marine humidity, making it suitable for regular use as a stowable pedestal system that can be broken down and stored when the boat is in use. The Garelick 94304 is sold as a set of 4 poles, giving enough support points to tent a standard cover across the length of most boats. It is a straightforward, durable accessory for boat owners who want to extend the life of their cover and protect the interior from trapped moisture.
