Watercraft deck cover system

Abstract

A watercraft deck cover system. The system provides a cover member. The cover member has fasteners placed along the perimeter of the cover member. A connector is on the top of the cover member and is designed to have a cord attached to the connector. The cord is secured to a frame at an overhead arm extending from the frame. When the fasteners are secured to a watercraft and connector is elevated by the cord, water is prevented from pooling on the deck of the watercraft.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A watercraft deck cover system, comprising:
 a cover member, defined by a perimeter, adapted to cover a top deck of a watercraft;   a plurality of fasteners disposed along the perimeter, each fastener configured to secure to the top deck of the watercraft;   a connector disposed on a top surface of the cover member.   
     
     
         2 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover member defines a plurality of corners on the perimeter thereof, wherein each corner corresponds to an angled portion of a gunwale of the watercraft. 
     
     
         3 ) The watercraft deck cover of  claim 2 , wherein each corner comprises at least one aperture. 
     
     
         4 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover member comprises an elastic band around the perimeter. 
     
     
         5 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 4 , wherein the elastic band is disposed around an entirety of the perimeter. 
     
     
         6 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners is a plurality of elastic cords wherein each elastic cord is configured to secure to a plurality of watercraft cleats. 
     
     
         7 ) A watercraft deck cover system, comprising:
 a cover member, defined by a perimeter, adapted to cover a top deck of a watercraft;   a plurality of fasteners disposed along the perimeter;   a connector disposed on a top surface of the cover member;   an overhead arm member suspended over a mooring by a frame;   a cord extending from the overhead arm member; and   the cord configured to secure to the connector.   
     
     
         8 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 6 , further comprising an anchor disposed on the frame configured to receive a passive end of the cord. 
     
     
         9 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 7 , wherein the anchor comprises a body with a pair of outward extension arms configured to receive the cord. 
     
     
         10 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 6 , wherein the overhead arm member forms a cantilever with the frame, such that a free end extends over a space adjacent to a dock. 
     
     
         11 ) The watercraft deck cover system of  claim 6 , wherein a hook is disposed at an active end of the cord. 
     
     
         12 ) A method of covering a watercraft deck, comprising:
 placing a cover member over a top deck of a watercraft;   fastening a plurality of fasteners disposed on a perimeter of the cover member to the watercraft;   suspending a cord over the watercraft from an overhead arm of a frame;   attaching the cord to a connector wherein the connector is centrally disposed on a top side of the cover member;   tensionably adjusting the cord overhead the watercraft such as to raise a central region of the cover member relative to the perimeter, to prevent liquid from pooling upon the top side of the cover member.
