Oceansouth Heavy-Duty PVC Open Boat & Tinny Covers
Protect your boat with Oceansouth’s premium PVC Open Boat & Tinny Covers, designed for dependable protection during storage and trailering. Available in grey or white PVC, these covers provide a durable barrier against rain, spray, dirt and debris.
Manufactured from heavy-duty 400 g/m² high-quality PVC fabric with a 1000-denier backing, each cover delivers exceptional strength and durability for demanding marine environments. The robust PVC construction is designed to withstand intense sun exposure, heat and freezing temperatures, providing reliable protection season after season.
Designed for open fishing boats and tinnies, the semi-custom profile provides practical coverage for boats without a raised cabin or windscreen. Double lapped seams strengthen the construction while marine-grade fittings and Oceansouth’s innovative tie-down cleats help maintain a secure, stable fit. Use Oceansouth’s Overall Fabric Measurement guide when selecting your cover size.
The smooth PVC surface is easy to clean, making routine maintenance straightforward. Suitable for boatyard, garage, driveway and winter storage, this reusable cover offers a practical alternative to single-use shrink wrapping. It can also be used while trailering when correctly fitted and securely fastened.
As open boats and tinnies often lack an internal structure to support the cover, Oceansouth’s Telescopic Boat Cover Support Pole Kit is recommended to promote water runoff and help prevent pooling. The support pole kit is available separately.
Q & A
How do I measure my boat?

Otherwise, scroll down to the overall measurement instructions and you will see a guide on how to measure your boat.
How do I tell the difference between the T-Top and Pilot Covers?
T-Tops are made specifically to go over boats with a T-Top.
Pilot covers are made for pilot cruiser-type boats.
Are they trailerable?
Yes, the covers are trailerable (once tied down). For long-distance highway travel, we always recommend adding some additional straps over the top. This stops the cover from flapping which prolongs the cover’s lifespan.
How should I clean my cover?
-To clean your cover, use a soft brush and lukewarm water
-Do not use harsh laundry soap or chemical detergent as they may damage the protective UV coating on your cover.
-A mild, soapy detergent (even dishwashing liquid) is perfect to remove dirt and grim.
-For the more stubborn and in-ground stains, we recommend using a polyester canvas cleaner available from most camping and auto stores.
-Air dry
Note: To prolong the life of your cover it must be clean and completely dry before storing.
How to avoid rain/water pooling in the cover?

This will allow the rain/water to run straight off the cover.
Will a sharp object poke through the fabric?
To extend the cover’s lifespan, reinforce any stressed areas with extra fabric such as foam or a towel to prevent potential punctures over time.
Can Oceansouth modify a cover specifically to my needs?
No, we do not produce or alter bespoke orders to specific customer requirements. However, you can take our covers to a marine trimmer for any necessary modifications. Please be aware that such modifications may void the warranty.
Can I return or exchange the product if it does not fit?
Yes, as long as the product has not been damaged. Contact us to find out how to organize the return.
