A: Use our Boat Cover Finder tool. Enter your boat's length and maximum beam width, and we'll show you covers designed to fit. Each product page also lists specific dimensions (length, beam width, and height from gunwale). If you're between sizes or unsure, contact our team for personalised advice.

A: Our standard covers are designed for boats with tall permanent structures, ie:

boats over 17ft have the option of a tall permanent structure cover. Smaller vessels may not have this feature so check our Boat Cover finder for the most suitable cover. T-tops have some size options. Please check the "height from gunwale" specification on each product. For boats with T-tops or towers, you may need a custom or trailerable cover with extra height. Contact us to discuss your setup.

A: Yes. Our 600D polyester covers with PU coating are specifically designed for extended outdoor storage. They offer UV protection, waterproofing, and mildew resistance. For best results, ensure proper ventilation underneath and avoid pooling water on top.

A: Most of our covers are labeled "trailerable," meaning they're designed to stay secure at a maximum top speed of 65 kph and not recommended for highway driving. It is best used on a journey to your local Jetty or Ramp. Look for adjustable straps and reinforced stitching. Always ensure the cover is properly fastened before towing.

A: "600D" refers to the denier rating, which measures fabric density and durability. 600D is heavy-duty marine-grade material - thick enough to resist tears and punctures, yet light enough for easy handling.

A: PU (polyurethane) coating adds a waterproof and UV-resistant layer to the fabric. This keeps your boat dry in wet weather and protects the cover itself from sun damage, extending its lifespan significantly.

A: With proper care, a quality 600D cover can last 3-5 years or more in typical Australian conditions. Lifespan depends on sun exposure, storage practices, and how often you remove and reinstall it. Regular cleaning and avoiding sharp edges will maximize durability.

A: Yes. Our covers feature mildew-resistant treatment to prevent mold and mildew growth, especially important in humid or coastal environments.

A: Yes. Most boat owners can install these covers solo in 5-10 minutes. The elastic hems, adjustable straps, and lightweight material make it manageable for one person. For larger boats (23ft+), a second set of hands can speed things up.

A: The side zipper allows quick access to the boat's interior without removing the entire cover. It's perfect for grabbing forgotten gear, doing maintenance checks, or airing things out. Coming soon are covers with a rear zipper. This allows easier access to the inside of the boat and less friction while driving.

A: Use all supplied adjustable straps and loops to secure the cover tightly. Tension should be distributed evenly around the boat. Elastic hems also help keep the cover snug. For extra security in high-wind areas, consider additional tie-downs.

A: Yes. Rinse with fresh water and use a mild detergent if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers, which can damage the PU coating. Let the cover dry completely before storing.

A: Generally, size up for a better fit. A slightly larger cover can be cinched down with straps, but a too-small cover won't provide full protection. Check beam width and height specs carefully, as these are often the limiting factors.

A: Not if you use our Boat Cover Finder - it does the work for you. If you prefer to measure manually, you'll need:

• Length: From bow to stern (excluding outboard motor)
• Beam width: Widest point of the boat
• Height from gunwale: Tallest point above the side rail

A: Most covers are designed to drape over the stern with the outboard in place. Ensure the cover length accounts for the motor cowling. Some covers have a cutout or extra material at the back to accommodate outboards.

A: Check the product page for specific shipping details.

A: Yes, we have a hassle-free returns policy. Covers must be unused, in original packaging, and returned within the specified return window. See our Returns Policy for full details.

A: Both colors offer the same protection and features. Grey tends to reflect more heat and show less dirt, while black offers a sleeker look. It's purely a style preference.

A: Both brands offer marine-grade protection, but materials and features may vary slightly. Check individual product specifications for denier rating, coating type, and included accessories. Seamanship is our best-selling Australian brand, known for reliability and value.

A: Yes. Most boat covers include a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and tear is not covered. Check product pages for specific warranty terms. Coming soon is a 2 year warranty for selected Boat Covers.

For a 20ft boat, you'll typically need a cover labeled 19-21ft to ensure proper coverage. However, size depends on three key measurements:

• Beam width (widest point of your boat)
• Height from gunwale (tallest point above the side rail)
• Overall length (bow to stern, excluding motor)

Use our Boat Cover Finder tool - simply enter your boat length and beam width, and we'll show you covers engineered for your exact specs. When in doubt, size up slightly for better protection. Our team is available to help if you're between sizes or have custom features like a T-top.

No. Our 600D polyester boat covers feature PU (polyurethane) coating, making them water and UV-resistant. This coating creates protection that:

• Prevents water pooling and mildew growth
• Protects against salt spray in coastal environments
• Resists fading and degradation from Australian sun

For best performance, ensure the cover is properly secured with all straps and avoid allowing water to pool on top. The elastic hems and adjustable fastening straps help create a tight, water-shedding fit.

To measure your boat for a cover, you'll need three dimensions:

1. Length (bow to stern)

• Measure from the furthest point at the front (bow) to the furthest point at the back (stern)
• Exclude the outboard motor from your measurement
• Measure along the centerline of the boat

2. Beam Width (widest point)

• Find the widest part of your boat (usually near the middle)
• Measure from the outside edge of one side to the outside edge of the other
• This is critical - covers that don't fit the beam won't work

3. Height from Gunwale (tallest point)

• Measure from the top of the side rail (gunwale) to the highest point
• Include any windscreens, consoles, or seats
• If you have a T-top or Bimini, note the extra height

Pro tip: Skip the measuring and use our Boat Cover Finder - it matches your boat specs to the right cover automatically. Still unsure? Contact our team for personalised sizing help.

Yes, most of our covers are specifically designed as trailerable boat covers, meaning they're built to stay secure at up-to 65 kph. Look for these features when towing:

• Adjustable fastening straps with quick-release buckles
• Reinforced double-stitched seams for high-wind resistance
• Elastic hems to prevent flapping
• Heavy-duty loops for secure tie-downs

Before towing, always:

1. Ensure all straps are tightened evenly to avoid wind lift
2. Check that the cover isn't loose or flapping
3. Use all provided tie-down points
4. Double-check zippers are fully closed

Our Seamanship covers are rated for trailering and include everything needed for safe local transport. Check the product description for "trailerable" confirmation.

600D (denier) fabric is significantly heavier, thicker, and more durable than 210D. Here's what that means:

600D Covers (Recommended):

• ✓ Heavy-duty marine-grade material
• ✓ Resistant to tears, punctures, and abrasion
• ✓ Longer lifespan (3-5+ years with proper care)
• ✓ Better for long-term outdoor storage
• ✓ Handles harsh Australian sun and coastal salt
• ✓ All our Seamanship covers are 600D

210D Covers (Light-duty):

• Thinner, lighter fabric
• Better for occasional use or indoor storage
• Less resistant to UV and tearing
• Shorter lifespan in outdoor conditions
• Not recommended for Australian conditions

Our recommendation: Always choose 600D for Australian boating. The extra durability and UV protection are worth it, especially if your boat is stored outside year-round.

With proper care, a quality 600D polyester boat cover with PU coating lasts 3-5 years in typical Australian conditions. Lifespan depends on:

Factors that extend cover life:

• Proper installation (tight fit, no pooling water)
• Regular cleaning (rinse with fresh water after use)
• Storing dry when not in use
• Avoiding sharp edges and abrasive surfaces
• Using in conjunction with support poles (prevents sagging)

Factors that reduce cover life:

• Leaving water pooled on top (causes stress and mildew)
• Constant exposure to extreme UV without breaks
• Rough handling during installation/removal
• Using a cover that's too small (creates tension points)
• Not rinsing off salt water (accelerates fabric breakdown)

Pro tip: The Seamanship brand offers a 1-year warranty, and with basic maintenance, you'll easily get 3-5 years. Clean your cover a few times per season, let it dry before storing to maintain its performance..
