Universal Fit Boat Covers

Covering your boat every time it isn’t being used is key to keeping its gelcoat in top condition and ensuring its overall well-being. Your craft is subjected to prolonged exposure to the sun, salt air and spray, occasional downpour, debris, bird droppings, etc. A good boat cover will protect it against these hazards while keeping it away from prying eyes and hands. A universal-fit cover is a cost-effective way to guard your boat against the elements and debris, as opposed to more expensive semi-custom and custom-fit designs.

Universal covers are meant for different makes and models of similar size regardless of their hull style. The centerline length and beam width are the measurements taken into consideration. Make sure your new cover is neither too big nor too tight. Too loose a fitment will cause flapping, while a smaller cover than necessary will be harder to put on and off and may not allow for sufficient airflow for ventilation. Because of their one-size-fits-all nature, universal-fit covers are unlikely to have pockets located exactly where you need them to be. However, when inexpensive protection is a priority, go with one of these and it will do the job.
