IS
THE FABRIC WATERPROOF?
Most fabrics used for marine applications are water repellent.
This fabric, while not guaranteed 100% waterproof, usually performs
well in repelling or beading of moisture. A waterproof fabric
usually has a vinyl coating will be the closest to 100% waterproof.
However, when sewn the machine needle will cause a small hole
in the coating while depositing the thread. Thus, the vinyl
coated fabric would not be 100% waterproof also. |
|
|
IS THE FABRIC BREATHABLE?
The marine acrylic fabric offers very good breathe-ability
followed by the polyester fabrics; the vinyl coated polyester
fabric is not a breathable fabric. Most applications for
storage will be best suited for a breathable fabric. If
used primarily for traveling the vinyl-coated fabric would
afford the better water repellency.
|
IS THE COVER PADDED?
We sew reinforcement to the underneath side of the cover at
possible abrasion areas based upon the configuration of your
boat. |
CAN
YOU TRAVEL WITH THE COVER DOWN THE HIGHWAY?
You can use the cover during travel when it is tied down properly
(see installation page). If you notice considerable movement
in the cover, it is advisable to stop and check for proper installation. |

| DO
I NEED TO APPLY WATER REPELLENT TO THE FABRIC?
In some cases, a new cover may require a short period for the
fabric to tighten around the thread at sewn locations. As the
cover has been in use, it may require that the water repellency
be rejuvenated. The duration will depend on a combination of
factors thus no set time will apply. |
 DO
THE COLORS FADE?
The marine acrylic fabric is very colorfast. Covers that
we have made 10 to 12 years ago, made from the marine acrylic
have shown very little if any color change. The polyester
fabric uses a different dyeing system, while still very
colorfast they do show some change after several years.
|
HOW
LONG DOES THE COVER LAST?
There are many different factors, which determine the life expectancy.
Some climates are harsher, and the application of use will be
factors in the longevity. Polyester gives 3 to 5 years of dependable
service with more in some instances. It is not uncommon for
the Marine Acrylic vinyl coated polyester fabrics to last 5
to 8 years. |
HOW
LONG WILL IT TAKE TO MAKE MY COVER?
Our normal peak season turn around time is approx. 2-3 months.
However, in the fall we have a 3 to 4 week turn around time. |
