L6 Verado Vented Splash cowling protection.
Our new exclusively made fabric with higher spec’s, nick named P2 fabric
Polysoft® II offers strength, dimensional stability, and abrasion resistance with the addition of a lightweight, non-woven soft felt backed polyester backing. Polysoft® II also features great water, UV, and mildew resistance to endure marine environments.
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.
The black is a lot blacker than our previous fabric and other colors will be added to our range over the next 12 months.

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!
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.
