Overview

Running a V12 Verado isn’t like running any other engine — it’s a level of power and refinement that becomes part of your confidence on the water. When you’ve got that kind of strength pushing your boat, you want to protect it with something equally dependable. That’s where this vented splash cover earns its keep. It adds a sense of calm to every outing, knowing the engine’s bright white finish stays shielded from spray, sun, and whatever the day brings. It’s the kind of protection you feel good about the moment you glance back at your transom.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A V12 deserves protection that feels just as engineered as the engine itself, and that’s exactly what you’ll notice with this cover. It settles onto the cowling with a snug, confident fit — tight and steady without feeling stiff. The Polysoft II material has a smooth, almost cushioned feel that gives you a sense of security the moment you run your hand across it. Once you’re underway, the cover stays in place, refusing to flap or shift even as the boat climbs onto plane.

The venting is thoughtfully designed to let heat escape and keep air moving, so you don’t have to worry about moisture building up beneath the fabric while the engine is running. Spray beads off cleanly, water spots are kept at bay, and the bright white finish underneath stays protected from the harsh sun. Even those small, unavoidable bumps — a gaff handle brushing the cowling or a fender swing in a tight slip — are far less likely to leave lasting marks. The cover simply does what good marine gear should: it protects without calling attention to itself.

Why Buy OEM

With a powerhouse like a V12 Verado, settling for a generic cover just doesn’t make sense. A genuine Mercury Marine part number gives you exact fitment, engineered venting, and materials proven to hold up in the toughest marine environments. Aftermarket covers may look similar, but they don’t match the tailored shape, long-term durability, or confidence of an OEM product. If another boater asked me what to choose for a V12, I’d say this one without hesitation — it fits right, performs right, and protects your investment season after season.
