Arima Sea Chaser 16 O/B Boat Cover (1992-2006)

Q:Will a cover fit my boat if there are modifications?

A: Westland's Exact Fit Custom Boat Cover are specifically designed and sewn to fit your specific year, make and model of boat with only the factory installed options. Aftermarket accessories that change the outline or profile of your boat will cause this cover to not fit your boat. Exact Fit boat covers are custom built to order and are non-returnable.

 

Q:Which covers are trailerable?

 

A: All Westland boat covers are sewn and reinforced to be trailerable with straps, with the exception of our drift, inflatables, and pontoon covers. The straps include a locking buckle mechanism that effectively ties down your boat cover for safety and reliability while you're on the road. Straps are included on all of Westland's Exact Fit covers and are available for purchase with Select Fit covers as well.

 

Q:Does Westland make snap covers?

 

A: No. Instead of making snap covers, Westland secures all covers with a heavy duty unbreakable rope.

 

Q:Will my cover mildew?

 

A: Mold and mildew are an inevitable concern in marine environments. That's why high-quality boat covers, like Westland's, are made with naturally mildew-resistant fabrics and are designed to provide superior protection against these potentially damaging fungal infestations. Westland's covers include sewn-in ventilation, an effective precautionary measure that cuts down on mildew build-up, and provides an escape route for moisture.

 

For an added level of protection, Westland also recommends using a boat cover support pole or HangTyte to prevent water pooling on the cover. Westland's vented boat cover support poles help to prevent water formation, which can cause sagging and mildew. When properly cleaned and maintained, your Westland cover will provide effective protection for your boat, helping to prevent both mold and mildew to keep your boat looking great.

 

Q:I see cheaper covers online. Why buy a Westland cover?

 

A: With many covers, what you see is what you get, but that isn't the case with a Westland boat cover. Westland starts with a solid foundation, high quality water-resistant polyester or acrylic material that offers good breathability and a long lifespan that makes the investment worth it. Unlike the cheaper covers you can find online, which are made of lightweight cotton-poly blend and nylon materials, your Sharkskin or Sunbrella Westland boat cover is going to have UV protection and fade resistance to make it last.

 

 

Westland focuses on superior quality and value, so every boat cover is hand sewn and designed for a perfect fit. We sew in ventilation for water resistance to prevent the build-up of fungal infestations, such as mold and mildew. A cheaper cover just isn't going to be able to deliver when it gets put to the test, but a Westland boat cover will.

 

Q:How durable is the fabric?

 

A: All of Westland's custom boat covers are made from high quality, durable Sharkskin polyester or Sunbrella acrylic materials. These materials are the two most trusted and reliable fabrics known to withstand harsh marine and road conditions. With either option, you can travel worry-free knowing that your cover will keep your boat safe from the elements or winds on the road. Westland is confident your boat cover will perform for years to come, but if anything were to happen they stand by their warranties, including 3-year to 7-year warranties for Sharkskin covers and a 10-year warranty for Sunbrella covers.

 

 

Q:Does the cover have any reinforcements?

 

A: All Westland covers are hand-sewn, which grants them the unique ability to add in extra layers of protection where it's needed the most. Their custom boat covers have additional fuzzy reinforcements sewn in at critical points to help reduce the risk of tearing at typical wear points. These fuzzy reinforcements prolong the life of your cover while also protecting your boat from scratches caused by buckles and zippers.

 

Q:How is the cover secured to boat?

 

A: Westland uses a heavy duty 1/4" draw rope to achieve a tight fit with your cover, every time you use it. Unlike shock cord, which breaks down in the sun and can result in a ripped boat cover when you need it the most, the draw rope is going to maintain its integrity and keep your boat protected without loosening up with age or from the sun. This is just one of the many things Westland does to make sure you get a high quality, durable boat cover that you can rely on.
