Premium 600D Polyester 25ft-27ft Trailerable Marine Grade Waterproof Boat Cover

How A Boat Cover Protects Your Boat

Keeping a boat covered at all times that the boat isn’t in use, will literally save your boat’s condition, maintenance schedule, and value. Taking a boat cover on and off may

seem inconvenient at times, but since you bought a nice boat, wouldn’t you want to keep it that way.

I’ll bet you had to shop around a bit to find the best boat for your money. By not keeping a cover on it, you are destroying exactly what you had searched for, which is a well

maintained boat in great condition.

RAIN

The elements of mother nature can be absolutely Brutal on your boat’s interior. Only thinking about the boat being rained in, creates enough damage to wipe out your boat’s

value.Your boat’s interior is NOT deemed “waterproof”. It is “water resistant”.

Your boat’s interior is designed to resist the amount of water being brought into the boat under normal use. When swimmers, waterskies, wakeboarders, tubers, and such are

getting back into the boat, they bring some water with them.

However, in comparison to a rain storm dumping water into your boat over an extended period of time with no opportunity to dry out, when your boating it’s usually an nice

day and the comparatively small amount of water brought into your boat dries out very quickly.

The damage from moisture comes from everything in your boat’s interior staying wet over hours, days, weeks, or more of staying wet. If the moisture can’t dissipate and dry

out quickly, it penetrates whatever it’s on.

When your talking about your boat vinyl, seat foam, carpet, wood floor, stringers (floor joist structure) and seat bottoms, all these structures can and eventually will absorb

that rain. You will sustain wood rot, mold, and mildew. Even though you may not be able to see what is happening initially, your interior is being destroyed within.

Even though it’s possible to repair this damage with lots of money and labor, why not just avoid it by keeping your boat covered and dry? If let go too long to the point of

rotting the boat’s floor structure, it just may not be worth fixing. You might be better off buying a different boat and treat the new boat better.

All that moisture can and will seep into your gauges, wiring, cables, and hinges. You’ll find your throttle, shift, and steering cables getting very stiff, as well as your hinges on

doors, seats and cabinets. You’ll also see your wire connections corrode and your gauges may stop working all together.Laziness Never Pays

SUN

For much the same reason you use sunscreen to protect your skin, your boat’s vinyl needs protecting too. The sun can burn your vinyl and dry it out. It can also fade the

color. The thread that has the pieces all attached, can be affected as well.

Any plastic, rubber, and carpet are also going to feel the effects of long term exposure to the sun. However when the boat stays covered during non-use and the vinyl, rubber

and plastic are treated with protectant, these items can last the life of the boat.

Debris And Animals

Falling debris, like sticks, leaves, and other items blowing in the wind can end up in your boat. Sticks can puncture your vinyl or break gauges and such. All the debris that

ends up in your boat can create other problems as well.

For instance, having leaves build up will hold moisture and not allow your interior to dry out. This will promote rot, mold and mildew. A nice pile of leaves also makes for a

great home for an animal. The good thing is they probably won’t poop and pee in their nest.

The bad thing is, they’re going to find another place in your boat, and do their business there. Another issue is, that they’re going to love that pile of leaves as a nest for

having babies. That’s another set of claws and teeth for every one in the litter, perfect for destroying your boat’s interior.

What Should You Do

Keep the cover on your boat when its not in use! For such a minor inconvenience, why wouldn’t someone do this to keep their boat in great condition?

Buying a boat that’s in nice condition, is a fairly significant investment. That along with the ongoing costs of maintaining it, hauling it, storing it, and keeping it legal, it just

doesn’t make sense to not keep a cover on it.

As important as it is to clean and protect your boat vinyl, it’s equally important to clean and protect the cover that is over it.
