Oceansouth MA 601-series inflatable boat covers are semi-custom protective covers for inflatable boats, dinghies, tenders, and RIBs. The series is available in several variants to suit different boat lengths and widths, with room for a round or square bow, low console, vertical transom, and in several models, a mounted outboard motor. Always check the boat's length and width over the highest points before selecting a variant.
The covers are manufactured from 100% solution-dyed ATLAS Marine Grade polyester with a PU coating and a fabric weight of 280 g/m². The material is breathable, water-resistant, UV and weather-resistant, as well as resistant to mold, mildew, saltwater, dirt, abrasion, tearing, and airborne pollutants. The water column is at least 1500 mm, and the UV protection is rated UPF 50+ with a measured value above UPF 80. The fabric is also water and oil repellent, chlorine resistant, and has a light and weather fastness of grade 6–7. The directional tensile strength is approximately 2200/1400 N.
The semi-custom bow provides a smoother fit, while the full-cut rear section provides space for an outboard motor on relevant models. Double-lapped and reinforced seams, UV-resistant thread, and anti-stretch and sagging construction ensure good durability in a marine environment. A 6 mm braided rope is encapsulated in the hem and tightened with a rope tensioner or cleat. Marine-grade rope cleats, line ends, and fastening components are included.
The cover protects against UV radiation, weather, moisture, condensation, saltwater, and dirt during standard storage, winter, and long-term storage. It can also be used during transport on a road trailer when all fasteners are correctly tightened without overtightening and checked regularly. At speeds over 60 km/h, two light-duty ratchet straps over the bow are recommended to reduce wind load. Clean with mild soap and warm water. Storage bag included. Support pole 21063 or telescopic support pole set 21062 can be purchased separately.
