outboard splash covers advice
Submitted by PJAY on Mon, 2009-06-29 12:39
I am looking at getting an outboard splash cover for my 60 yammy 4 stroke. Outboard Covers Australia have what i need. I am after a bit of advice firstly are they worthwhile, do they last and has anyone had any fitting or other problems with them?

I have an OCA cover on my 250 4stroke and have had it on there for 5 years now. Never had a problem with it inregards to fading or stretching or anything for that matter. I also got the full cover from them for when we go to exxy every year. You cant go wrong there mate

Set
Same as Herk I have the combination set.
The splash cover is great for flying lead, errant cast lures etc. Fits very snug and hasn't stretched.
It also protects the cowling. I've had mine on for 18 months and the cowling still looks brand new.
Well worth the $$$ IMO.

If you have a yammie
and want "yamaha" written on it, then you will have to buy it through the y-shop as OCA won't sell them to you - they are the only outboard brand that do it.
I have a yamaha branded OCA that I bought through the y-shop, very good those OCA covers. And if/when I upgrade I'll buy another one no hesitation.

outboard covers
OCA are the way to go for sure splash cover for general protection and full cover for when on the long road trips for full motor protection

OCA covers are the quackers
OCA covers are the quackers knackers. Can get anything you want put on it except motor brands. When I got mine I got Suzuki supplied by ######.That may have changed.

Didn't worry about names on mine, just went with blue to match the canopy.
Pretty quick turn around time from when I ordered it to when they rang me to collect it. Good service.
