- Questions

Should I use a full or half outboard motor cover?

Full vented covers provide complete protection for long-term storage or mooring on the Gold Coast, covering the entire powerhead and lower unit. Half covers protect just the cowling for daily use when you want quick access to controls and steering. Full covers suit boats stored for weeks or months, while half covers work for boats used regularly throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland.

How do I find the right size cover for my outboard?

Match the cover to your motor's brand, horsepower, and model year. Covers are sized by cylinder configuration and displacement, like "4CYL 2.3L BF115-150" for Honda motors. Check your motor's model plate or manual on the Tweed Coast. We provide detailed fitment charts showing which cover fits each specific motor model and year range.

Why do outboard covers need ventilation?

Vented covers allow moisture to escape while blocking UV rays, rain, and salt spray. Sealed covers trap moisture inside, causing corrosion and mildew on the Gold Coast. Quality vented covers use mesh panels or breathable fabric that lets air circulate while keeping weather out. Always ensure your motor is cool and dry before covering.

Can I use my outboard cover while trailering?

Standard storage covers aren't designed for highway speeds and may tear or blow off during trailering throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Use travel covers specifically rated for trailering with reinforced construction and secure strap systems, or trailer with your motor uncovered. Most boaters remove covers for travel and reinstall them after launching or when stored.
