The cover on my HS Jetsetter was cut by wild turkeys! They were cute and interesting until I realized their big claws had cut two holes in the outer layer of my cover. I can now see the blue whatever underneath. The cover feels somewhat heaver, but it's about three years old and I figured they get heavier with time anyway. The holes aren't large but the question is should I, OR do I need to, replace the cover. If so, does anyone have any suggestions as to the best replacement.
Thanks.

First off, a 12 gauge will take care of the turkeys. If you're going to replace the cover, I would get another HotSpring cover.

If the holes are just in the outer layer and your inner core wraps are not damaged, you should be able to patch with a vinyl repair kit available at most any spa or pool store.

The only wild turkey I know bout is...........whiskey ;D
Under the outer vinyl is a layer of polyethylene that seals and protects the foam. If only the vinyl is torn, you can get a vinyl repair kit from Walmart (in the automotive section) for about $10. If the inner polyethylene is also ripped, you can patch this with PVC tape (electrical tape).

Doc
You might have just talked your way out of a cover sale :-?

If he doesn't really need a new cover, and can live with the look of the repair, there's no reason to get a new cover.

Money means NOTHING to Dr. Spa! All the invoices I've sent him over the years, he just laughs and tosses them aside and refuses to pay. He has no use for money, and assumes none of the rest of us do neither.
He is always here to help and does so without any hope of renumeration or copulation!
He resents these insinuations and reacts with indignations!
I hope you're satisfied.
