Oceansouth Boat Covers

Shop Oceansouth boat covers at Blue Bottle Marine and protect your boat from sun, weather, dirt and debris while it’s not in use. With covers available for a wide range of boat styles and sizes, Oceansouth provides practical protection whether your boat is stored at home, at the marina or on the trailer.

Choose from different sizes and configurations designed to provide a secure fit across common recreational boat styles.

Boat Covers for Different Boat Styles

Not every boat has the same shape, which is why choosing a cover designed for your particular style of vessel is important.

The Oceansouth range includes boat covers for a variety of configurations, with options suitable for different hull shapes, consoles, cabins and other common boat layouts.

Depending on the range, options may be available for:

  • Open boats and runabouts
  • Bowriders
  • Centre console boats
  • Side console boats
  • Cabin boats
  • T-Top boats
  • Inflatable boats
  • Other recreational boat configurations

Always check the individual product dimensions and intended boat style before ordering.

Oceansouth Boat Covers

Oceansouth specialises in marine covers and accessories, with boat covers designed specifically for use around the marine environment.

Their boat cover range uses marine-grade fabrics selected to help protect boats from exposure to UV, rain, dust, dirt, leaves and other environmental conditions during storage.

Different Oceansouth ranges can have different fabric specifications, fastening systems and intended uses, so check the individual product details when comparing covers.

Choosing the Right Boat Cover

A good fit is one of the most important considerations when choosing a boat cover. A cover that is too small may not provide adequate coverage, while an oversized cover can be difficult to secure correctly.

Before ordering, consider:

  • Overall boat length
  • Beam width
  • Windscreen or cabin height
  • Console position
  • Bow rails
  • Bimini tops and T-Tops
  • Rod holders and rocket launchers
  • Bowsprits and bow rollers
  • Other equipment extending above or beyond the hull

Measure your boat and compare those measurements with the sizing information provided for the individual Oceansouth cover rather than relying on boat length alone.

Boat Covers for Storage & Trailering

Consider how you intend to use your cover before choosing a model. Some boat covers are designed primarily for storage, while suitable models may also be designed for trailering.

If you plan to tow your boat with the cover fitted, check that the specific Oceansouth cover is suitable for trailering. Towing creates additional wind loads, so you should not assume that every storage cover can be used while travelling.

Protect Your Boat Between Trips

A boat can spend considerably more time stored than it does on the water. Keeping it covered between trips helps reduce exposure to UV, rain, dust, leaves, bird droppings and general dirt.

A properly fitted cover can also reduce the amount of cleaning required before your next trip and provide additional protection for seats, consoles and other equipment exposed inside the boat.

For longer periods of storage, consider using a suitable cover support system to help maintain the shape of the cover and reduce areas where rainwater can collect.

Oceansouth Boat Covers FAQs

What size Oceansouth boat cover do I need?

Measure the overall length and beam of your boat and compare these measurements with the sizing information for the individual cover. You should also account for windscreens, cabins, consoles, bow rails and other equipment that may affect the fit.

Are Oceansouth boat covers waterproof?

Oceansouth offers covers made from water-resistant marine fabrics. The exact material and level of weather protection vary between ranges, so check the specifications of the individual cover before ordering.

Can I tow my boat with an Oceansouth cover fitted?

Only use a boat cover for towing if the specific model is designed or approved for trailering. Not every boat cover is suitable for use while the boat is being towed.

How do I measure my boat for a cover?

Measure the boat from bow to stern along its centreline and measure the beam at its widest point. Also consider the height and position of windscreens, consoles, cabins, rails and other fittings the cover needs to accommodate.

Do Oceansouth covers fit different styles of boats?

Yes. Oceansouth offers covers in different shapes and sizes for various boat configurations. Choosing a cover designed for your style of boat generally provides a better fit than selecting one based on length alone.

Should I use a support pole under my boat cover?

A suitable support system can help prevent low areas from forming where rainwater and debris can collect. The requirements will depend on the boat, cover and storage conditions.

How should I look after my boat cover?

Keep the cover clean and allow it to dry before folding it away for storage. Follow Oceansouth’s care instructions for the specific fabric and avoid cleaning products that could damage its protective treatment.
