Oceansouth began in 1985 in a small garage in Melbourne, Australia as a part-time project making boat ladders and bimini tops. It quickly grew into a global leader in the design and manufacturing of marine accessories. The company expanded its product line beyond its initial offerings, becoming an industry innovator known for blending functionality with style. This reputation for quality led to national recognition in Australia and a move to a larger manufacturing facility in 1990.
In 2012, Oceansouth established its divisional headquarters in Miami, marking its entry into the U.S. market with the aim of expanding its global presence and bringing Oceansouth to the world. This expansion into the U.S.A. was a huge success, leading to further growth in North America and setting the stage for Oceansouth’s foray into the European sector in 2014, with its European base established in Germany.
With our products now sold in 94 countries worldwide, Oceansouth is the premier market leader in marine and boating accessories.
What’s the difference between a storage cover and a vented cover?
A vented cover can remain on the cowling while motoring, providing ongoing protection. In contrast, a storage cover is designed only for storage and trailering purposes.
Will a Full cover fit over my storage or vented cover whilst on the outboard?
Yes, the full covers are designed to fit over the outboard, even with the vented or storage cover on.
How do I measure my shaft length for a full cover?
It is the vertical distance from the top edge of the transom to the cavitation plate.
As shown in the image below.
Do you make a custom outboard cover for my older-style cowling?
No, we only started making custom outboard covers in 2017 for the up-to-date cowling shapes, at the time. For older-style cowlings, please refer to our universal outboard covers in the link below.

How do I clean my cover?
https://oceansouth.co.nz/outboard-motor-cover-care-and-maintenance/
-To clean your cover, use a soft brush and lukewarm water
-Do not use harsh laundry soap or chemical detergent as they may damage the protective UV coating on your cover.
-A mild, soapy detergent (even dishwashing liquid) is perfect to remove dirt and grim.
-For the more stubborn and inground stains, we recommend using a polyester canvas cleaner available from most camping and auto stores.
-Air dry
Note: To prolong the life of your cover it must be clean and completely dry before storing.
Can I return or exchange the product if it doesn’t fit?
