Oceansouth Boat Covers

Oceansouth is a major name in marine covers, offering an extensive range of boat covers designed for different hull styles, sizes and configurations.

Blue Bottle Marine stocks Oceansouth covers for a variety of boats, with options designed around common boat styles including:

Bowriders
Cabin cruisers
Centre and side consoles
T-Top boats
Pilot and cruiser boats
Inflatable boats
Open boats and runabouts
Other recreational boat configurations

Many Oceansouth boat covers use water-resistant, breathable marine-grade fabric designed to provide protection from UV exposure and weather while allowing moisture to escape.

Always check the measurements and intended boat style carefully before choosing your cover.

Outboard Motor Covers

Your outboard is one of the most important pieces of equipment on your boat, and a suitable engine cover can help protect it when it’s not in use.

Oceansouth outboard motor covers are available for a wide range of engines from major manufacturers including:

Yamaha
Mercury
Suzuki
Honda
Tohatsu
Evinrude

The range includes custom-fit and universal options, with different cover styles available depending on whether you need protection during storage or a vented cover designed for use while the motor is running.

Oceansouth Bimini Tops

Shop Oceansouth bimini tops at Blue Bottle Marine and add practical shade and sun protection to your boat. A bimini top provides overhead coverage while still allowing airflow and access around the boat, making it a popular addition for fishing, cruising and family days on the water.

Oceansouth offers bimini tops in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different boats and mounting requirements.

When choosing a bimini top, consider:

Width between mounting points
Required bimini length and height
Available mounting position
Boat and gunwale configuration
Required shade coverage
Frame and fabric options
Clearance around consoles and other equipment

Measure your available mounting area carefully and check the dimensions of the individual bimini before ordering.

Vented Outboard Covers

Vented outboard motor covers are designed to remain fitted while the engine is operating. Strategic ventilation allows the motor to breathe while the cover helps protect the cowling from UV exposure, salt spray, dirt and general wear.

Because vent locations and engine shapes vary between outboard models, it’s important to select a vented cover specifically suited to your motor.

Check the manufacturer, horsepower, model and year where applicable before ordering.

Boat Covers for Storage & Trailering

Different covers are designed for different uses, so consider how your boat will be stored before making your selection.

A storage cover can help protect your boat from UV exposure, dust, dirt, leaves, bird droppings and weather when it’s sitting between trips.

If you intend to tow your boat with the cover fitted, make sure the specific cover is approved for trailering. Not every boat cover is designed to withstand the additional wind loads created while travelling.

Choosing the Right Boat Cover

Getting the correct fit is one of the most important considerations when buying a boat cover.

Before ordering, measure your boat carefully and consider:

Overall boat length
Beam width
Height above the gunwale
Windscreen or cabin height
Bow rails
Bimini or T-Top configuration
Rocket launchers and rod holders
Outriggers and other accessories
Bow rollers and bowsprits
Intended storage or trailering use

Don't rely on the model description or boat length alone. Compare your boat measurements against the individual cover specifications to make sure you select the correct size.

Boat & Engine Covers FAQs

What size boat cover do I need?

Measure the overall length and width of your boat and compare these measurements with the sizing information for the individual cover. You should also account for the height and position of windscreens, cabins, bow rails, T-Tops and other fittings that the cover needs to fit over.

Are Oceansouth boat covers waterproof?

Oceansouth describes its ATLAS marine-grade boat cover fabric as water-resistant and breathable. Breathability allows moisture and condensation to escape rather than being trapped underneath the cover.

Can I tow my boat with the cover fitted?

Only if the specific cover is suitable for trailering. Some Oceansouth covers are designed for storage and trailering, while others may be intended primarily for storage or limited trailering use. Check the individual product specifications before towing with a cover fitted.

What is the difference between a vented and storage outboard cover?

A storage cover is designed to protect the outboard while it isn't operating. A vented outboard cover has strategically positioned ventilation and is designed to remain fitted while the engine is running.

Always choose a vented cover designed for your specific outboard model.

Do you sell covers for Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki and Honda outboards?

Yes. Blue Bottle Marine offers Oceansouth outboard covers for major engine brands including Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda, Tohatsu and Evinrude, along with universal options.

Check your engine model, horsepower and year where applicable to find the correct fit.

Are universal outboard motor covers available?

Yes. Universal outboard covers are available where a model-specific cover isn't required or available. Check the dimensions carefully to ensure the selected cover is suitable for your engine.

Why should I cover my boat or outboard motor?

A marine cover helps protect your boat or engine from exposure to UV, salt spray, dust, dirt and weather while it's not being used. A correctly fitted cover can also help keep the boat cleaner between trips.

How do I look after my Oceansouth cover?

Keep the cover clean and allow it to dry completely before storing it. Oceansouth recommends using a soft brush and lukewarm water for cleaning, with mild soapy detergent where required. Harsh laundry soaps and chemical detergents should be avoided as they may damage the protective coating.
