Outboard motor cover 60–100 HP

Keeping an outboard motor exposed to rain, sun, dust and trailering grit can mean more cleaning and less protection during storage. This cover is designed to shield the motor from those everyday conditions, using 900D Oxford fabric with a PU coating and double-stitched construction.

The drawstring at the bottom is intended to secure the cover without tools, whether the boat is stored or on a trailer.

Getting the most from it

Use the cover when the motor is parked between outings or when the boat is being transported. For example, after loading the boat, pull the cover over the motor and tighten the bottom drawstring to help keep it in place against wind and road spray. It is also intended to keep dust, bird droppings and dirt off the motor during longer periods of storage.

The fabric is described as tear- and wear-resistant, with protection against rain, dew, snow and UV exposure. That makes it more suited to outdoor coverage than a basic dust cover intended mainly for an indoor storage space. If you prioritise protection from weather and trailering debris, this design addresses more of those concerns, if you prefer a lighter cover for occasional indoor use, its heavier 900D fabric may be more than you need.

Why it’s worth it

The main practical appeal is the combination of a coated fabric and a simple fastening method. You can install or remove it without tools, and the drawstring lets one person tighten the lower edge. It is also described as suitable for use while the motor is mounted on a boat or trailer, which is useful when the motor stays in place between trips.

The cover is listed for 60–100 HP outboards and is described as a universal fit for many motor profiles. It names Yamaha, Mercury, Honda and Suzuki as examples, but that does not confirm fit for every motor from those brands. It suits you if you want one cover for routine outdoor storage and your motor’s shape and dimensions match the cover.

Worth noting

Horsepower is only a reference, not a guarantee of fit. The listing specifically advises measuring the motor before buying, so compare its dimensions and profile with the cover rather than relying on the 60–100 HP range alone. That is the key limitation: a motor can fall within the stated horsepower range and still have a shape that does not sit snugly under the cover.

The product description claims resistance to fading, cracking and ageing in outdoor conditions, but gives no care instructions or measured weather-performance details. Given how it is designed, it is intended for regular outdoor protection, it should not be treated as a substitute for checking the fit or keeping the motor maintained.

When to choose it

Better to avoid it if you need a confirmed fit based only on horsepower, since the listing asks buyers to measure first. It is a more sensible choice when you can check the motor’s dimensions and want a drawstring-secured cover for dockside storage, a trailer or other outdoor use. If your priority is simply covering a motor indoors, a less substantial cover may be a more appropriate approach.
