Outboard motors come in various leg lengths – your dealer will advise which one is suitable for your boat. If you order an Full or Combo OCA cover we will need to know that leg length as our covers are made to a model specific pattern.

See brands listed below for your motor.

Leg lengths are measured as a ‘transom height’ – this is always in inches and is the distance between the red dotted lines in the diagram below:-

Transom-height[1]

To make it easier if you do not know the transom height of your engine you just need to supply the overall height of the motor as shown below. This can be entered on our order pages by selecting ‘unsure’ in answer to the leg length question.

Yamaha outboards are very easy to find out the leg size & depending on the size of the motor to which legs sizes are available.
As an example, smaller motors only come in 15″ (short) or 20″ (long) as a guide 2- 50hp.
Then 50- 350hp offer leg sizes from 20″ (long), 25″ (XL), 30″ (Ultra Long) & in rare cases 35″ (UUL).

To find out the leg size on your Yamaha find the ID badge on the motor which is located as pictured:-

PLEASE NOTE:-  Yamaha bring out “special” legs either called HIGH THRUST so for a 4 stroke it will be FT350…… . You would have paid extra for these models & they don’t normally come on motors above 70hp (but rules change). They are used on commercial outboards or Yachts, where the motor is pushing a lot of weight. All they do is provide a bigger gearbox and prop for more down low grunt.

If you are struggling please see “How are motor legs measured” tab and provide overall height measurement as pictured in this section.

As an example we don’t need the serial number this is your individual motor number, what we need is the MODEL number which as a rule will look similar to this:-

M90ELPTO in this case the motor is a (M) Mercury/Mariner, 90 is the hp, E = Electric start, L = Long leg 20″, PT= Power trim, O= Oil injection. Another could be M300EXPT…… 300hp with XL leg. Simple really?

2005- 25hp with Electric start, L= 20″ leg Power trim & Tilt  4S= Four Stroke

PLEASE NOTE:- Mercury/Mariner bring out “special” legs either called BIG FOOT or Command Thrust. You would have paid extra for these models & they don’t normally come on motors much above 115hp (but rules change).

Honda Branded Outboard Covers

 

If you own a current model Honda outboard you will need to purchase a branded cover from your local Honda dealership (Click here) to find one near you). However, there are exceptions so please read the following carefully before ordering:-

  1. We can supply branded Combo sets for ALL models as Honda do not supply these via their Dealerships. See point 4 for older models.
  2. We can print the branding on a COMBO only if the colour of the cover is the Honda light grey as listed on our order page. No secondary colours allowed.
  3. We will print the branding as instructed by HONDA as follows;  Combo you will receive 4 pairs (8 logos) of black “Honda” word ONLY (not Honda Marine). One on the front, one on the rear and one on each side of the SPLASH® & the same with the FULL cover. You will be charged $50.00 for all these logos (Combo). No other branding or wording is allowed.
  4. Honda have also allowed us to print the Honda wording as outlined above in point 3 on any other HONDA motor other than the current models or shapes. This includes the Splash®, Full or Combo range. The cost of the logos are the same as point 3 above. COMBO = $50 or Splash® Cover OR Full cover only = $25. Note:- only for motors that are not the current model/shape. By entering anything else other than as clearly outlined above will delay your order up to 7 days.

These options can be added during the order process.

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!
