Trolling Motor Covers for Popular Electric Motor Brands
Protect your bow-mounted electric motor with Oceansouth trolling motor covers designed for popular Minn Kota, Garmin, MotorGuide, Watersnake, Haswing, Lowrance and Simrad models. These covers are made for boat owners who want reliable protection while the motor is mounted on the boat, whether the vessel is stored at home, parked at the marina, sitting on a trailer or resting between fishing sessions.
A trolling motor is one of the most exposed pieces of equipment on a fishing boat. It sits forward, often in full sun, and is regularly exposed to salt spray, rain, dust, road grime and UV. Oceansouth trolling motor covers are shaped to suit specific motor families and shaft lengths, helping protect the head, shaft area and mount without relying on a loose, generic cover.
Brand-Specific Covers for a Better Fit
The collection includes dedicated options for leading trolling motor brands, allowing boat owners to match the cover to the motor rather than compromise with a one-size-fits-all design. Browse Minn Kota trolling motor covers for models including Riptide Terrova, Riptide PowerDrive, Ultrex, Riptide Ulterra, Riptide Instinct Quest and Riptide Terrova Quest. For Garmin electric motors, the Garmin trolling motor covers suit Force Kraken, Force and Force Pro models across selected shaft lengths.
Anglers running MotorGuide motors can choose from MotorGuide trolling motor covers for Xi3, Xi5 and Tour models, including freshwater and saltwater variations. The range also includes Watersnake trolling motor covers for Geo-Spot GPS, Fierce 2 and Stealth bow mount electric motors, plus Haswing trolling motor covers for selected 12V, 24V and 36V models. For compatible Lowrance and Simrad motors, view the Lowrance and Simrad trolling motor covers for Fresh Water Ghost and Fresh Water Recon models.
Made for Marine Conditions
Oceansouth trolling motor covers are constructed from AtlasXPRO marine-grade PVC fabric. This material is hard-wearing and suited to the harsh conditions commonly found around Australian waterways, including UV exposure, saltwater environments and regular outdoor storage. The covers are available in black, grey and white, making it easier to match the cover with the boat, motor or existing marine canvas.
Each cover is designed with practical features that matter on the water and at home. An elasticised hem helps create a snug fit around the motor’s mounting base, while the mesh underside supports water drainage. This is useful after rain, washdown or a wet day on the water, as it helps reduce water sitting inside the cover. The zipper design also makes the cover easier to fit and remove around shaft supports and mounting points.

Choosing the Right Trolling Motor Cover
The most important step is matching the cover to the motor brand, model and shaft length. A Minn Kota Riptide Terrova cover will not necessarily suit a Garmin Force Kraken or a MotorGuide Xi5, even if the shaft length looks similar. Start with the motor brand, then select the specific model and shaft length shown on the product page.
For example, the Minn Kota range includes multiple shaft lengths from 45 inches through to 100 inches, depending on the motor model. The Garmin range includes Force Kraken options from 63 inches through to 110 inches, as well as Force and Force Pro covers in selected shaft lengths. The MotorGuide range includes a broader selection across Xi3, Xi5 and Tour motors, so it is especially important to confirm freshwater or saltwater configuration, thrust rating and shaft length before ordering.
If you are unsure, check the model plate or original motor documentation before selecting your cover. Choosing by approximate size alone can lead to a poor fit, particularly on motors with different head shapes, mounts or shaft support positions.
Who These Covers Are For
These covers are ideal for anglers, boat owners and marine retailers who want a clean, purpose-built way to protect trolling motors between uses. They suit trailer boats, fishing boats, centre consoles, bay boats and other craft fitted with bow-mounted electric motors. They are especially useful for owners who leave the motor mounted permanently, as removing a trolling motor after every trip is rarely practical.
A cover is also helpful when towing the boat locally, storing the boat outdoors or keeping the motor protected while parked under a carport or in a shed. For boat owners who invest in quality electronics, batteries and deck hardware, covering the trolling motor is a simple way to help keep the overall setup tidy and better protected.
Maintenance and Care
To keep the cover in good condition, rinse off salt, dirt and road grime with fresh water and allow it to dry before long-term storage. Avoid packing the cover away while wet for extended periods. If cleaning is needed, use mild soap and water rather than harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. Check the zipper periodically and clear away sand, salt or debris so it continues to operate smoothly.
The mesh underside is designed to help drainage, but it is still good practice to let the motor and cover dry properly when possible. Regular care will help maintain the appearance of the fabric and make the cover easier to fit and remove over time.
Why Choose Oceansouth
Oceansouth designs marine accessories with practical use in mind. Rather than offering a single loose cover for every motor, this collection is organised by brand, model and shaft length, giving boat owners a more considered fit. The use of AtlasXPRO PVC, colour choices, elastic hem, mesh drainage and zipper access all reflect the realities of boating: covers need to be tough, easy to handle and shaped for the equipment they protect.
The range also sits alongside other useful Oceansouth protection products, including boat covers, outboard covers and boat cover accessories, making it easier to build a complete protection setup for your boat, motor and onboard equipment.
