Any thoughts on either stretching the canvas or are there tools that will help me snap it?
thanks

Also, I know there is a product that you can apply to rejuvenate the water repellancy but I can't remember what it is...

Hancoveguy,
How old is the boat and cover? What material is it made out of?
Are you talking about a cockpit cover or a full canvas type cover?
If you have a full canvas type cover, that you can leave up while running there is probably some adaptability in the top that can get you the what you need to fix your issue in the back.
Depending on where you are on the lake I would be more then willing to take a look at the problem. My father and I kept an old vinyl cover working on a 20 year old boat just by adjusting how the top sat.... of course we finally had to make some drastic adjustments, the last year we used it.... Thank goodness I talked Dad into a new Cockpit cover the next year.
