I'm ordering a custom cover for my K35 for when it's on a ramp away from the home hangar. Would there be any benefit in covering the cabin air intake scoop that is centered on top the fuselage a few inches behind the rear window? Surely Beech made provision for a water drain and critter limiter, so covering would be no factor..?

The cover maker may be willing to adjust his template and extend the cover beyond just the windows.
Yours truly,
Mark

Hi Mark-

I can't speak directly to your K35, but I can say that on our S35 we will get water in the fuselage (I think through the vent scoop) in intense rain with no cover. I am sure that Beech made provision for draining the water that came through the vent, but I suspect that there are some cracked hoses or other leaks somewhere in the 56 year old system. I would definitely design the cover to protect the vent scoop, unless you have another means for sealing it off.

Regards,

Bob

Have you already ordered ? I have a Bruce Custom Cover that came with my K model. I never use it. If you are interested, shoot me a note.
