New OEM Mooring Cover and Fabric Guard

[flyingnugget]

Hey Y'all....Well I finally bit the bullet and bought my 2014 242LS a new black mooring cover. I've had the current since new and its held up great. But, this winter some of the plastic clasps broke and I can get the cover nice and tight to drive with. Cant believe I got this much time out of the original anyway. All the Hot GA summers and it being store outside all the time too.

Now with that being said I used 303 Fabric Guard on that cover, as well as the Bimini, and that stuff obviously was the champ and kept the material protected. But, I didn't think about the new cover and the newer material. Can you use the 303 Fabric Guard on that like we could with the previous heavier canvas? Thanks y'all

YES ! It's the best I have found. I treat mine each spring and also the bimini. Just did them both this past Saturday. It keeps water running off just like RainX on a windshield until the following spring. Probably could get by doing it every 2 years but this time of year after a long offseason , looking for boat projects !! lol

do you just spray and let it absorb?

yes, I have actually done it two ways. You can buy the concentrate , dilute it but not sure the ratio , and apply with a low pressure nozzle on a pressure washer. For the bimini I just use the 32 oz. bottle with spray applicator. Either way be sure it is clean and dry before application.

@WildCatFan54 ...Thanks man. I do the same every spring. I use a pump sprayer, lay out the mooring cover in the driveway/yard and soak the cover and Bimini. Fabric Guard 303 is the absolute best. I even use it on our patio furniture cushions. Amazon had the gallon jugs on sale for $35!!! bought 3. Definitely want to get the new cover covered before the season.

We've had so much rain here in GA I can only imagine the debris in the lakes right now...But, projects are starting to add up and boating is just around the corner.

Cheer!

What do you use to clean your bimini?

I just use dawn dish soap and warm water.

debris is terrible early spring on Lake Cumberland also. I was down there yesterday with intention of taking the boat out ? Then discovered some minor gelcoat damage on transom below waterline. Bummer ! Thought it might be best to get that resolved before taking down off the lift. Next weekend project.
