     A Fisher Boat Cover is…………

A boat cover designed to protect your boat during the winter months against the elements of snow, rain, etc.

Form fitting, made to fit the profile of the boat.

Made to fit to the boat’s waterline. However, if your boat is stored in water for the winter, the cover will be made to come approx. 20” above the waterline.

Reinforced at the stress points (point of bow, windshield, transom).


 

What is a Fisher Boat Cover made of?

A 10oz single filled cotton canvas treated with a paraffin finish called Duraffin which makes the cover water repellant, mildew & UV resistant. (Duraffin never needs to be reapplied, it will last the life of the cover).

Cotton is a natural fiber and anti abrasive.

How does the cover attach to my boat?

There are pairs of heavy duty webbing loops sewn into the bottom of the cover spaced approx. every 4’-5’. Tie off the right side loop to the corresponding left loop. Each pair ties off individually (don’t lace them up).

There is also a drawstring sewn into the bottom of the cover that you pull and tie off in the bow. This is for added secureness.


We also install grommets in the bow in which you do lace up.


Do I need to construct a frame?
How is the cover supported?

It depends on the type of boat you have.

Boats with radar arches do need to have a frame constructed to support under the boat cover. We can give you a guide on what you can do if you need somewhere to start. We recommend using PVC.

For most boats under 35’ and without radar arch’s, we will install sleeves on the outside of the boat cover for you to slide 2x4’s into (The 2x4’s should lay on their side). There are 3 sleeves: 1 in the bow and 2 in the transom. You will want each 2x4 to stick out of the sleeve 6”-1’ at each end so it is easiest to guide the 2x4 in and out of the sleeve.

Plain 2x4 lumber will do just fine. You do not need to get pressure treated wood.

The length of the 2x4’s are determined according to the boat.

Will someone come out and measure my boat?

It depends on whether or not we have a pattern for your boat. If we have made a cover for a boat like yours before, we will pull out the pattern that we have drawn and use that. If we haven’t made a cover for a boat like yours, we will come out and measure your boat. If your boat is out of our area and we need measurements, we can send you a diagram and instructions and you can take the measurements.

We currently maintain a file of over 3200 patterns and are adding to that daily!

 

Is the cover guaranteed?

Fisher Boat Covers are guaranteed to fit your boat when they are installed and supported properly.

We guarantee the cover to be free of defects in workmanship and materials when you receive it and install it on your boat.

A Fisher Boat Cover is not guaranteed to last any length of time. The average life a boat cover is 8-10 seasons, with proper care. Proper care means that when the cover comes off of the boat, it must be completely dry and stored in a cool dry place. The cover is mildew resistant, but if it is balled up while it is damp, eventually mildew will set in and cause those areas of the cover to become brittle.

The cover should also have some sun exposure while it is on the boat. This will allow for proper drying.

If rips or damage occurs to the cover, it should be repaired as soon as practical.

Can I trailer my boat with the cover on?

We do not recommend trailering your boat with the cover on. The boat cover is designed to withstand winds while it is on the boat, but high speed trailering and long distances are not recommended.
