My Gulfstream and My Breeze use the same size cockpit covers. I just tied
hooks to the grab loops and hook them to the deck lines. I lost one off
another boat years ago, now I just see the shadow of the flapping in the
wind, so I have another chance to put it on right and not have to plunk out
$25+ on a new cover.
    The covers keep out all kinds of things including critters looking for
winter digs, bugs looking for a nice place out of the sun (boats in a
covered rack), and cats looking for a place to have kittens.
