How To Find Good PWC Covers
This season what you need for your personal watercraft is a pwc cover. A tailor-fit or custom-made cover designed exactly for your make and model of watercraft will be the best investment you can make. You can find a cover that will custom fit just about any watercraft that you might own these days. Manufacturers, dealers, after-market accessory shops will carry a good selection, although it’s probably easier to order on-line and have it shipped rather than try to find a pwc cover for your exact model in stock.
Let’s talk about what you have to worry about when you are looking for a pwc cover. First - choose a perfect fit. Why does it have to be ‘perfect’? For one thing, it just looks better. Secondly, a tight fitting cover protects your pwc better, especially when trailering. There’s nothing worse than a loose fitting cover whipping against your boat causing wear and tear, not to mention the possibility of the ‘parachuting’ effect causing a hazard to you and anyone following you.
Now, second to a tailored fit, material is probably the second most important factor when you are considering pwc covers. The material that is used will determine how well and for how long your cover will protect your boat.
When it comes to material choice, Sunbrella is probably the most popular option - at least if you’re looking at quality pwc covers. The advantages to Sunbrella are it’s patented sun-resistent abilities, especially in particularly hot and harsh conditions. Secondly, it is a woven fabric, which means it breathes. This is important because breathable fabrics allow moisture and heat to escape, thereby protecting your pwc from heat buildup and damaging mildew formation. In addition, the woven material adds tear resistance for extra durability.
Regardless of whether you are looking for a seadoo cover, Yamaha pwc cover, Kawasaki pwc cover, a doger, bimini, or any other kind of boat cover that you can imagine, it is important to keep these two factors in mind - exact fit, and a durable material. Color choice helps to make your ride look good, but a cheap cover that looks ratty in less than a year just isn’t worth skimping on.
So do you need to get your pwc cover right from the manufacturer to ensure the best fit and quality? The truth is, there are a lot of after market pwc cover manufacturers that design covers specifically for each particular make and year - so no, the best quality doesn’t always come from the manufacturer. Your mileage will vary though, and you need to ensure you are getting the quality you expect, so do a little research before you choose a brand. However, if you really want your pwc brand logo on your cover, then you may have no option but to buy from the manufacturer.
So now that you know the important things to watch for when looking for your sea doo cover, you can feel safe that you will find the best option to protect your summer lake toy. The only other thing you’ll have to decide is whether that really awesome custom designed 3-d flame embossed cover is worth twice the price, but more importantly, whether they make it in a shred resistant breathable material.
