Factory Replacement Cockpit Cover

The area behind a boat's windshield is the cockpit of your boat where you sit and stand to drive and where many, if not all, of your passengers sit.  Like other areas of the boat, the cockpit needs a cover for protection.

Cockpit Cover Use

 
Using snaps, attached to the fiberglass around the perimeter of the boat's cockpit area and along the base or to the top of the front of the windshield (depending on OEM specifications for that model), the cockpit cover simply fastens into place for a tight drum-like fit to keep rain, leaves and other debris out of the cockpit of your boat. The sleek look of a cockpit cover protects your interior, doesn't take as long to take on and off as a full mooring cover, and gives your boat a classy factory look, especially when coupled with a tonneau cover of matching color and canvas (as shown above).  Use it when you need light protection, but it is not recommended as your only cover for off-season storage when your boat is outside under the elements.  
You won't find a cockpit cover at your local marine retail store or even at a boat dealer. Because the cockpit dimensions will vary with every boat model and year, a cockpit cover needs to be a custom fit.  Great Lakes Boat Top has patterns for various boat covers, tops and enclosures for thousands of boat models.  Request a quote for a cockpit cover for your boat .
