To cover or not??

Applying a section of "pool noodle" over the TM blades, windshield edges, and any other narrow or sharp/pointed object that the cover can come into contact with, will help keep the cover from being cut/punctured from any movement or pressure against those objects. Even the metal hinges on your folding boat seats, if you have them mounted under the cover, can puncture even the heaviest of trailering covers if they remain in contact with the cover over a long haul period.

And the worst thing you can do is use any kind of mold/mildew removal solution that contains bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) on your boat covers or seats ... as bleach will deteriorate the threads, and eventually cause the cover or seats to start coming apart.

Been there, done that, in both instances

I always travel with my cover on. That is what it is made for and why they call them a travel cover. I have only had one problem with a cover and that was in a very strong storm coming home through SD. There was such a cross wind that I stopped in Sioux City Ia and had to put the boat back on the trailer straight. It had turned the boat at an angle on the trailer what the hold down straps would allow. Glad I had the safety chain hooked on the boat. That is what kept it on the trailer. EB

Mine is a travel cover as well. Bought the one with the best reviews that was specifically made for my boat. And it was expensive, but got more expensive when it came off lol.

they can sure buff some spots in the finish.
