I made one for a boat that had sit outside. It was to keep varmints and spiders out plus water.
I bought some waterproof fabric - it was like sumbrella but cheap at a crafts / hobby store - Michaels.
It was on sale and cost abuot $6.
Drape the fabric over the cockpit and put a bungee cord around it, in the coaming recess. Leave the knot and knot ends at the bow.
Pull the fabric tight and wrinkle free etc. Then I used the electric glue gun. I flapped the fabric back over the bungee on to the top surface, trimmed it neat and glued it. Done.
You use it with the glue side down so people can admire your craftsmanship (very important!)
