Don't do it. Nike is wrong.

While it goes without saying, here goes....

NEVER TIE YOUR TARPS/COVERS TO THE JACK STANDS! Whew, I feel better now. It is a dangerous practice, that can lead to the jack stands (poppets) being pulled out of position, which is an excellent way to break a boat (or several if they all closely placed).
