Full Cover Locking Eye

Add extra protection to you Full cover.

 

Marine security is a constant problem and we are frequently asked if there is anything we can do to help protect an outboard. Whilst any fabric cover can be removed with a good pair of scissors, the addition of a cover to keep potential thieves guessing can help. If they can’t see what is inside they are more likely to move on to something more obvious.

We are also able to add a locking facility to our Full covers. This is an eye in the leg strap allowing the cover to be padlocked onto the engine. A lot of outboard theft is planned by teams who steal the motors to order. If they can’t see what type it is they are more likely to move on to one they can easily get to.

Our locking eye is not the total solution but will help. The cover will also be badly damaged if anybody tries to steal it.

Handy Hint

Did you know each Outboard Cover sold by us has a white tag sewn into the lining that has an individual number on it? If you know your number & you might suspect someone of theft you can check to see if your numbers are sewn into the cover. This is great for insurance claims as well.

Why not Vinyl?

People also ask what is wrong with using vinyl or a padded vinyl won’t that stop the noise more and offer more protection?

Yes it MAY but as it is not breathable it will cause moisture to build up under both the cowl and cover. This will corrode the motor and damage the paint and decals.

Most people are not aware that a replacement cowl is extremely expensive and if new decals are required these are usually extra and can cost as much as one of our Splash covers.

This is typically what would happen if you made your outboard cover out of a material that does not have breathability such as vinyl or even neoprene which is used on wet suits. They do not have what Polysoft® has!

Latest Testimonial

A brief note on my experience with Geoff and Leanne Felgate’s company, Outboard Covers & Accessories (a.k.a. Outboard Covers Australia) as per www.outboardcovers.com.au.

I wholeheartedly recommend Outboard Covers Australia. Although their website does the job, I still prefer to order via phone and I am glad to say Geoff has answered the phone every time I have called. What more do you want? I have sold the Quintrex and now own a Sirocco RIB with a Honda F20; neat, fast and fun and now with a new cover for my new engine.
