Cover and splash cover arrived today and WOW!!!! are they nice. You can tell just by the feel it’s quality, and the workmanship makes it all come together. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to deal with someone who understands and pays as much attention to detail as I do. The price seemed a tad high at first, but after seeing them, the price was a steal. There is a slogan that one of our mechanical contractors has on their trucks that I have always liked and it applies here……

“Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”

Please express my thanks to Leanne for getting all my changes right the first time. Everything came out exactly as I envisioned. Can’t wait to get them installed when we pick up the boat next week. I will send you a photo or 12 when we get back. Thank you both for your frequent communication during the process, your professionalism and putting out such a top quality motor cover. My dealings with OCA has been my best online experience to date. Thank You Again!!!

Polysoft® II

Our new exclusively made fabric with higher spec’s, nick named P2 fabric

What is Polysoft® II?

In technical terms the material is an acrylic polymeric impregnated fabric. In other words it is a coated polyester that has a very high breaking strength, abrasion, mould and ultraviolet resistant. It also has excellent colour fastness and lasting outdoor durability. In fact Outboard Covers offers a 4 year guarantee against fading and rotting. We also offer a 3 year limited warranty on our high quality workmanship (commercial applications we offer 2 years on both). We have sold covers all over the World and our reputation is second to none for service and quality. Current colors this new fabric is available in is black, charcoal and light gray.

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.
