Yamaha 195S vs AR190/195 Mooring Cover

[Jeff L24]

As I come to the end of my second season, I'm wondering if I was sold the wrong cover for my 2021 Yamaha 195S. The velcro section that covers the base of the tower has always been hard to secure and the velcro opens when I tow. It is under such stress from being tight that the velcro is beginning to tear. I only recently noticed that the tower base on the AR195 and AR190 are slimmer (not as tall) than the 195S. I wonder if the dealer sold me an AR190/195 cover by mistake?
Any 195S owners out there that can share a picture with their mooring cover on?

I think there is a thread on here about this already. Probably the wrong cover I'm guessing

I did see some posts but no pics. I really wanted to see what the actual difference looks like.

According to shopyamaha.com there is a different cover for the 195S (MAR-195TR-BK-20) than the AR19x (MAR-190TR-BK-19). Quite weirdly, the 195S cover is grouped with the 21 ft boat covers:

The flaps on my 195s are almost too long.

What is the part number on the tag?

The flaps on my 190 are way too long, like several inches too tall. I bet I have a 195s cover...

The first cover they tried to put on wouldn't fit to the rear, it was an "up to '16" cover. Ran to the shed and brought the new cover out, definitely didn't check any part numbers or look it up.

Checked our cover, as you can see it is super tight around the base of the tower and the flaps are way too long. It is very difficult to get the velcro to grab on the sides, they barely meet. The whole tower/boat interface must be a bit different.

Our dealer is sending the correct cover on Monday, I'll try to get this cover back in the box and shipped back.

I contacted the dealer after I confirmed I was sold the wrong cover. They let me return my current cover for full value (despite being used and no box) and sold me the correct cover for the 195S. I just had to pay the difference, $56. Very pleased. Besides the tower flaps fitting as they should, I can now access the fuel cap without having to loosen the ratchet strap and undue to side velcro to pull the cover over enough to open the fuel door.

How does it fit over the bow area? Looking at my tower area after reading this thread and I suspect I might have the wrong cover for my 195S as well. I'm wondering if this might be contributing to my pinstripe peeling issue that I've had. It definitely fits but it's very tight.

Mine is opposite, 2022 195S cover on a 2023 190 boat. Everything fits correctly except around the tower. Tight around the front, just tucks under the corners at the rear, lined up correctly over the glass.

Look at the tag on your cover. The correct cover for the 195S is MAR-195TR-BK-20. If yours says 190 and 19 it's the wrong cover.

The flap over / through the tower cross bar looks a bit loose. Is that the new / correct or old cover?

That's a 195S cover on a 190, big cover/small tower.
