Carver Sun-Dura Outboard Motor Cover, Fits to 100 HP
Carver Sun-Dura Outboard Motor Cover, Fits to 100 HP — Product description
If your outboard lives outside, the cowling is the most expensive painted surface nobody bothers to protect. Carver's Sun-Dura cover fixes that. It slips over outboards up to 100 HP and shields the paint and powerhead from sun, rain, and mildew all season long.
Carver's Sun-Dura outboard motor cover is the simple insurance policy your engine's been asking for. It slips over the top of your outboard when the boat's sitting, and it keeps the sun, rain, dust, and bird mess off the cowling. This one's cut to fit outboards up to 100 horsepower, with a fit envelope of 25 inches long by 19 inches wide by 26 inches tall.
The fabric is Carver's Sun-Dura, a marine-grade polyester that's water repellent, UV resistant, and treated to fight mildew. That combination matters more than folks think. It's not the rain that ruins a cowling, it's the months of UV baking the paint and the trapped moisture growing mildew on the powerhead. A cover that sheds water and blocks the sun handles both.
The color is cobalt blue, so it looks right on just about any hull. The cut is tailored to the motor shape rather than a loose bag, so it stays put and doesn't flap itself to death in a blow.
Who's this for? Anybody who leaves a boat on a lift, on a trailer in the driveway, or on a mooring between trips. If your outboard lives outside, the cowling is the most expensive painted surface on the boat that nobody protects. A cover like this pays for itself the first summer.
One honest note: this is a storage cover, built to protect the motor when you're parked, docked, or stored. It's water repellent, not fully waterproof, so in a long soaking rain a little moisture can still find its way in around the opening. That's normal, and pulling the cover off to let the motor breathe on a dry day now and then keeps everything healthy underneath.
Carver's been sewing marine covers in the USA for over 30 years, and the Sun-Dura line is their bread and butter. Fit it once, forget about it, and your cowling thanks you a few seasons down the road.

Frequently asked questions
What size motor does this cover fit?
It's cut for outboards up to 100 HP, with a fit envelope of 25 inches long by 19 inches wide by 26 inches tall. Measure your cowling against those numbers before ordering if you're close to the limit.
What's it made of?
Carver's Sun-Dura, a marine-grade polyester. It's water repellent, UV resistant, and treated to resist mildew, which is exactly the mix you want on a cover that lives outside.
Is it fully waterproof?
It's water repellent, not a sealed dry bag. It sheds rain and blocks the sun, but in a long soaking rain a little moisture can still find its way in around the opening. That's normal for a storage cover and it keeps the powerhead from sweating.
What color is it?
Cobalt blue. It looks right on most hulls without shouting for attention.
Can I leave it on while the boat's on a lift or trailer?
Yes, that's exactly what it's built for. It protects the motor when you're parked, docked, or storing the boat between trips. It's a storage cover, not something you run the engine under.
Will it protect the paint from fading?
That's the main job. The UV resistance in the Sun-Dura fabric keeps the sun off the cowling, which is what fades and chalks painted outboard housings over a few seasons.
