: Hi Mike,

: Generally, what you do on the top edge is for looks. The bottom edge holds on
: the skirt. I usually just take the sharp edge off the bottom corner. Any
: thing rounder than about a 1/8" radius invites the spray skirt
: popping off too easily. Don't worry about wearinga hole in the skirt. It
: doesn't move around that much over the edge (if it fits right).

I used a cut of a elipise, gentle slope on top with abit more radius than Grant used. The neopreme spray skirt will not release with a knee must, pull tab.It is a strong 5/8" profile.
