Purchased my cover from trademe and are happy with it so far. Am certainly happy with it being outside a little longer while o finish off a few projects. Thanks for the recommendations and comment. ]]> Sun, 22 Oct 2017 20:26:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1705570&title=boat-cover-options#1705570 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Options : Cover Systems also here....This...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704958&title=boat-cover-options#1704958 Author: Betty Boop

[QUOTE=jackel]I decided to get a large silver rectangular cover from bunnings with the metal D rings. It is the extra heavy duty type and because of its size it covers right up and over the windscreen and down the sides of the hull also for maximum protection. I was considering the fitted types but for the reasons above went that way. Has lasted well so far and has even ended up with a fair bit of water on top of it without the D rings tearing out or the fabric tearing.

Thats what I have....one year old been through some rough weather and no problems at all, and covers the whole boat nicely

Just putting another option out there if he's considering buying one off Trademe, pretty sure that where those sellers will be getting them from then adding their mark-up, so why not cut out the middle man.
Where are the Cover Systems covers made?]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 12:08:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704594&title=boat-cover-options#1704594 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Options : Stonefish wrote:Check out Aliexpress,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704589&title=boat-cover-options#1704589 Author: Kevin.S

I second that. I have had one of these for 4 years now with no sign of deterioration, and more tie down point than you would ever want using really heavy duty material.


This one is on a FC560 C/C with a T-top. I bought it for my previous boat but it fits this one perfectly.

When 1st got the boat used the custom cover...but never dried out..storage would get a little musty, little mould algie here and there.
 Thendropped a couple poles in the ground next to the shed, and a 2nd hand6x6 square sun shade over.. still gets rain in the back of the deckarea.. but dries well alsi. The cabin , under bimini stays dry wellventalted and smell, mould free.
 With the carpet in the rear and rains on, when water blast did get a little green algie wash out thu.

Biminiis up unless a big storm wind due.. mainly because the sunshine canwhip, and could hit top of bimini , bend/ damage the frame.

Enginecover a must, espec mercs..and engine in down position.. rain can blowin the vents lay in the bottom, corrosion, binding gear chance bush typeissues. Make sure engine inside is dry before coving.

Bimini and clears been up for over 5yrs now.. all still in excellent condition.. well maintained, etc

Irecon the main thing is more direct sun.. thu if placed on a sth sideof a building .. too much shade would be the same as a cover re mould/agie.

After wash down, and most of the moisture gone.. Gone in 60sec concentrate, diluted about 80/100 mls per liter in a squeeze mistbottle, and quick mist thru cabin , carpets, seats, back edges of biminiseams,  goes a long way for smell mould/ agie prevention.

 The only time when use the boat cover now is if loaded up for a trip away camping or such.]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2017 09:34:34 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704578&title=boat-cover-options#1704578 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Options : I decided to get a large silver...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704566&title=boat-cover-options#1704566 Author: jackel

I've got one of these  https://www.coversystems.co.nz/store/cabin-and-runabout-boat-covers/cabin-cruiser-cover/  and it's doing well.  I had one on the last boat and it split during the warranty period.  They got it back and exchanged it no problems, apparently it was a fault in the material at the end of a batch or something.  But good to know they stand by the warranty.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2017 21:46:22 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125849&PID=1704564&title=boat-cover-options#1704564
