Although Custom Covers L.H.C. uses the Finest Materials and takes pride in our workmanship, proper care on your boat cover is very important to ensure its longevity.

​

IMPORTANT: Putting a boat cover on while interior of the boat is still wet may trap moisture and cause bacteria, mold, or mildew which could potentially ruin the interior and pinking may occur. 

​

When towing: 

• Verify that all snaps are snapped (if applicable)​

• Ensure that the rope and hem are tied tight and properly

• All side tie-downs to the trailer need to be secure and tight

• Inspect periodically during trip to ensure nothing comes loose 

​

When stored:

• (If storing outside) To aid in proper rain run off, crank trailer wheel up or down

• Ensure all tent poles are adjusted to proper height

• Regularly inspect cover for small tears and wear-spots and repair early before they get worse. 

• If snaps become difficult to snap/unsnap due to residue, the snaps installed on your boat can be restored by lubricating with a bar of soap. DO NOT use petroleum-based lubricants.

​

Cleaning: 

Sunbrella recommends the following cleaning schedule:  

• For boats that are stored OUTSIDE  : Boat cover material should be washed ONCE per year. 

• For boats that are stored INSIDE : Boat cover material should be washed every TWO to THREE years. 

Refer to Sunbrella Marine Fabrics Care and Cleaning for more information

​

ALWAYS use an INDUSTRIAL WASHING MACHINE to clean in order to properly remove the dust from the fibers.

​

ALWAYS  install your boat cover back onto your boat just after it has been washed and is still wet. Allow to air dry in the sun in order to maintain a proper fit. 

NEVER PUT IN A DRYER OR DRY CLEAN.

​

Note: every time you wash your cover, you are removing some of the water repellency.

We recommend periodically using : 303 Marine Fabric Guard which Restores Water and Stain Repellency.
