What’s the difference between a storage cover and a vented cover?
A vented cover can remain on the cowling while motoring, providing ongoing protection. In contrast, a storage cover is designed only for storage and trailering purposes.
Will a Full cover fit over my storage or a vented cover whilst on the outboard?
Yes, the full covers are designed to fit over the outboard, even with the vented or storage cover on.
How do I measure my shaft length for a full cover?
It is the vertical distance from the top edge of the transom to the cavitation plate.
As shown in the image below.

Do you make a custom outboard cover for my older-style cowling?
No, we only started making custom outboard covers in 2017 for the up-to-date cowling shapes available at that time. For older-style cowlings, please refer to our universal outboard covers in the link below.

How do I clean my cover?
https://oceansouth.us/outboard-motor-cover-care-and-maintenance/
-To clean your cover, use a soft brush and lukewarm water
-Do not use harsh laundry soap or chemical detergent as they may damage the protective UV coating on your cover.
-A mild, soapy detergent (even dishwashing liquid) is perfect to remove dirt and grim.
-For the more stubborn and inground stains, we recommend using a polyester canvas cleaner available from most camping and auto stores.
-Air dry
Note: To prolong the life of your cover it must be clean and completely dry before storing.
Can I return or exchange the product if it doesn’t fit?
