Hobie Kayak Cover for 12'-15' Kayaks - 72051
Category: hobie kayak accessories
The heavy-duty UV-resistant canvas material in a neutral color ensures better aging of the universal kayak cover. Designed to fit seamlessly over the hull, similar to a fitted sheet on a mattress, the cover is easy to install or remove. Adjustable straps and a pull string allow for a tighter fit, while cross straps secure the cover on the hull in windy conditions.
Hobie recommends that kayak hulls be stored upside down, resting on the cockpit rails, to help prevent distortions to the hull bottom shape. This method also facilitates the deflection of rainwater and prevents water pooling in the cockpit or on the cover. When planning to store a hull upright, it is essential to provide proper support for the hull bottom to avoid any distortions.
Universal fit covers may not entirely cover some hulls, particularly when accessories are installed. The Genuine Hobie Parts covers are designed to fit the following models: Kona, Mirage Classic, Oasis, Outfitter, Quest 13, Outback, and Revolution 13.
To ensure a snug and secure fit, the universal covers are equipped with adjustable straps and a pull string. This allows users to achieve a tighter fit, providing additional protection against the elements, especially in windy conditions. The cross straps further secure the cover on the hull, preventing it from being blown off.
The neutral color of the heavy-duty UV-resistant canvas material contributes to the cover's long-lasting appearance, even with prolonged exposure to the sun's rays. This durable construction ensures that the cover maintains its integrity and continues to provide effective protection for the kayak over time.
When storing the kayak upside down, resting on the cockpit rails, the universal cover helps to prevent distortions to the hull bottom shape. This positioning also facilitates the drainage of rainwater, preventing the accumulation of water in the cockpit or on the cover itself.
For those who prefer to store the kayak upright, it is crucial to provide proper support for the hull bottom to avoid any deformations. The universal fit covers may not entirely cover some hulls, especially when accessories are installed. In these cases, it is recommended to use the Genuine Hobie Parts covers, which are specifically designed to fit the various models mentioned.
Overall, the universal kayak covers offer a convenient and effective solution for protecting your Hobie kayak during storage or transportation. With their adjustable straps, pull string, and cross straps, users can achieve a secure and customized fit, ensuring the long-term preservation of their investment.
