Honda Outboard Covers
Honda outboards are used across a wide range of boats, from compact tenders and small fishing rigs through to centre consoles, offshore trailer boats and larger family vessels. A good cover helps protect the engine between trips, during road transport and while the boat is stored outdoors. The Oceansouth Honda Outboard Covers collection brings together model-specific options for owners who want a neater fit than a basic universal cover, with choices for full engine storage, cowling protection and on-water use.
This collection includes four Honda cover categories: Cover Set (Vented and Full) for Honda, Full Covers for Honda, Vented Covers for Honda and Cowling Covers for Honda (Storage). Each product type has a different purpose, so the best choice depends on whether you need protection while running the engine, while towing, or while the boat is parked for longer periods.
Full Covers for Honda Outboards
Full Covers for Honda are designed for storage and trailering, covering the outboard from the cowling down around the lower section. They are a practical choice for boats stored in driveways, yards, marinas or sheds where the engine is exposed to sun, rain, dust, salt residue and road grime. A full outboard cover is especially useful when the boat is regularly towed, because it helps keep the engine protected from debris and weather during transport.
The full storage covers use 10.3 oz/yd² tear-resistant Atlas marine-grade fabric with water resistance, UV protection and breathability. Key features include a soft felt inner lining, elasticised hem, heavy-duty size #10 marine-grade zipper around the skeg, double stitching and a twin rope cleat tightening system. These details help the cover sit securely around the engine and reduce unnecessary movement while fitted.
Vented Covers for Honda Outboards
Vented Covers for Honda are made to remain on the cowling while the outboard is running. They are shaped around specific Honda cowling features, with ventilation and cutaways to allow for airflow, air vents, contours and controls such as tilt and trim buttons. For boat owners who want day-to-day cowling protection on the water, a vented cover is the most suitable option in the range.
The vented range is available in white and gray, depending on the selected engine option. Motors 15hp and above use a twin toggle cleat system for secure tightening, while smaller motors use an all-web strapping, handle and buckle system. The same Atlas marine-grade polyester canvas, soft felt inner lining, elasticised hem and double stitching are used to provide a secure, durable and protective fit.
Cowling Covers for Honda Storage Protection
Cowling Covers for Honda (Storage) are designed for owners who want to protect the upper cowling without covering the full engine leg. They are well suited to trailering and storage when the cowling is the main area needing protection from UV exposure, dirt, scratches and general wear. This makes them a compact and easy-to-fit option for regular use.
The cowling storage covers feature 10.3 oz/yd² tear-resistant Atlas marine-grade fabric, a soft felt inner lining, twin rope cleat tightening, elasticised hem and double stitching. They are shaped to suit a wide range of Honda outboard models and are designed to sit neatly around the cowling base. For additional protection, the full storage cover can be fitted over the top of the cowling storage cover on compatible Honda models.
Vented and Full Cover Sets
The Cover Set (Vented and Full) for Honda combines the two most common cover types in one package: a vented cowling cover for use while the motor is running, and a full cover for storage or trailering. This is a strong option for boat owners who want continuous protection across different situations without having to choose between on-water cowling protection and full engine coverage after use.
For example, the vented cover can stay on the cowling during a day on the water, while the full cover can be fitted afterwards when the boat is parked, stored or towed home. For regular boaters, this makes the cover set a convenient and complete protection setup for Honda outboards.
Honda Engine Fitment and Buying Considerations
The Honda cover range includes fitments for many engine families, including BF2.3, BF4, BF5, BF6, BF8, BF9.9, BF10, BF15, BF20, BF25, BF30, BF40, BF50, BF60, BFP60, BF75, BF80, BF90, BF100, BF115, BF135, BF140, BF150, BF175, BF200, BF225, BF250, BF300 and BF350 models. The collection also includes different year ranges and engine configurations, including 1-cylinder portable motors, 2-cylinder and 3-cylinder models, 4-cylinder engines, V6 engines and V8 engines.
Before ordering, check the selected Honda model, horsepower group, year range and shaft length shown on the product page. Some Honda cowlings change between generations, so it is important to choose the exact engine group rather than selecting by horsepower alone. Full covers may also require shaft length selection, including 15 inch, 20 inch, 25 inch or 30 inch options where available.
- Choose a vented cover if you want cowling protection while the engine is operating.
- Choose a full cover if you want broader protection for storage or trailering.
- Choose a cowling storage cover if you mainly want upper cowling protection.
- Choose the vented and full cover set if you want both running and storage protection.
- Always match the cover to the engine model, year range and shaft length where listed.

Care and Maintenance
To keep a Honda outboard cover performing properly, remove salt, dust and dirt with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh laundry soaps, chemical detergents and abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the protective coating. A mild soapy detergent is suitable for general cleaning, followed by air drying before the cover is stored.
Never pack the cover away while it is wet. Check the elastic, seams, zipper, cleats, toggles and straps regularly, particularly after towing or extended outdoor storage. A clean, dry and correctly fitted cover will sit better on the motor and help prolong the life of both the cover and the engine finish underneath.
