Would recommend this cover for its soft all cotton interior and protective exterior. I am very happy with this purchase!”

How Does Salt Water Affect Boat Covers?

After rinsing the boat with fresh water, allow the boat to dry completely before installing the cover.

After rinsing the boat with fresh water, allow the boat to dry completely before installing the cover.

If you use your boat in saltwater areas, you know how the buildup of salt deposits can damage your boat. Your boat needs proper care and maintenance, such as washing it down with fresh water to remove the salt deposits. So what about a boat cover? Does salt water affect boat covers, too?

a

Using a boat cover around salt water is basically the same as using it around fresh water. In both cases, the boat cover needs to be cleaned regularly. Depending on the amount of salt to which your boat cover is exposed, it may need to be cleaned more often. Salt water leaves behind residue that attracts moisture, which can result in mildew.

After you rinse your boat with fresh water, allow it to dry completely before installing the boat cover. Since most saltwater areas are quite humid, it’s important to wait until the boat dries before covering it. Otherwise, mold and mildew will begin to grow on the cover.

Good cover up for the quad, had a handy carrying case when not covering the unit.

This is a great cover for an ATV. I bought this for my boyfriend for x-mas and the camouflage was perfect. The extra-large is a little too big for a 250 yamaha 4-wheeler but its elastic bottom fits snug around the tires.

Was nice to use in the rain. It kept the bikes dry.

Great quality, seems like a really good deal for the quality and the fit of this cover. The straps are in all the right places and the zippered access for the gas tank is perfect. Definitely recommend. Mine is on a Polaris Sportsman 500, which is a big ATV and it has room to spare under this cover.

Why Do I Need a Breathable Boat Cover?

Protect your jet ski with a breathable boat cover.

Protect your jet ski with a breathable boat cover.

One of the most important things to look for in a boat or PWC cover is breathability. Without a venting system to allow moisture to evaporate, the moisture gets trapped inside your boat, which can cause a number of problems.

a

What Happens When Moisture Gets Trapped?

First, trapped water or condensation can damage the boat’s interior, including the bilge, hull, and fabric materials. Cushions tend to soak up moisture, creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth. If the cushions are removable, the best option is to remove the cushions and store them in a dry, protected indoor area.

Second, trapped moisture can damage the boat cover. Mold and mildew thrive in moist environments, and your boat cover is no exception. Mold growth will weaken the cover and compromise the protection that it provides for your boat or jet ski.

How Do I Make Sure My Boat Cover Can Breathe?

Even if the boat cover you purchase is clearly labeled as breathable, there are a few things you need to remember in order for the venting system to work properly.

First, throwing a tarp (or any other covering) over the boat cover will negate the venting system by trapping the moisture underneath the tarp. Do not put anything else on top of a breathable cover.

Second, keep the cover free of dirt and debris, which can plug up the breathable material and promote mold and mildew growth. Wash the cover as needed to keep it clean.

Finally, don’t allow pools of water to stand on the cover. They can compromise the water resistant properties of the cover, which leaves your boat vulnerable to moisture damage.

Take good care of your boat and your breathable cover, and your boat and cover will last for years to come!
