Seadoo covers are one of the best things you can do to protect your Sea Doo. It might be your first pwc or your fifth, but going to the effort of getting a properly fitted seadoo pwc cover shows that you respect your machine. Seadoos are powerful and expensive machines. Failure to treat them right will only make your machine look shabby when compared to the machines of others.
Storing your pwc in the off season is only one part of keeping your pwc in great condition. In addition to making sure that you protect your seadoo with a cover whenever it’s not in use, you will also want to make sure to stay on top of any repairs that need to be made before they end up in a breakdown. This is especially true before you put it away for the winter. It’s best just to get everything done before next season comes around and you forget all the little things that will cause bigger problems down the road.
The next step is to get your pwc ready for storage - make sure that you properly drain and dry your pwc, and if you ride in the ocean give it an extra thorough wash to remove salt. Store it on a trailer that allows plenty of air circulation. Properly prepare the engine for winter storage, and treat all vinyl and rubber parts with a vinyl protector. And finally, cover it up with your chosen pwc cover.
When you are trying to choose a seadoo cover that will properly protect your pwc, it’s important to consider the conditions you’ll be storing. If you have the unfortunate luck to have to store your machine outside, then you will want to be extra careful in the cover you choose and how your machine is prepared. In this case, you may opt for a full wrap rather than a cover, since this will offer the maximum protection, although it is not re-usable.
If you intend to store your seadoo in a storage facility or in your garage then a fair weather cover will suffice. Fair weather covers are just like the cover you would use to protect your seadoo will on a trailer or to protect your seadoo from the sun and rain.
I like to choose a cover that matches my seadoo. If I have customized detailing on the engine then I like to have similar customized detailing on my seadoo cover. If I have a recreational seadoo that I leave at the cottage I’m less fussy. However I can tell you, throughout all my years owning personal watercraft, I have never owned one without having some type of cover for it.
Take the time to protect your seadoo with a good quality cover, and get in the habit of developing a good storage routine, and you will be rewarded with a happy pwc that will look brand new longer. And that makes a happy seadoo owner.
