Performance & Practical Benefits

This Tow N Stow cover feels substantial in your hands, the kind of gear that immediately tells you it’s built for real life on the water. The inner Polysoft II lining is gentle on your outboard’s finish, preventing the small scuffs and micro-scratches that often appear after long trips down gravel roads or windy days on the trailer. Once installed, the cover settles into place with a tight, secure feel. There’s no flapping, no sagging—just a smooth, confident wrap over the cowling.

The outer fabric holds its own in harsh environments. Rain sheds off quickly, sunlight doesn’t fade the material, and the breathable design helps prevent trapped moisture from becoming a problem. When you uncover the engine at the ramp, it feels like opening a well-kept piece of equipment rather than something left exposed to the elements.

Whether you’re storing your boat in a slip, on a trailer, or in the yard between weekend trips, the cover keeps your outboard clean, dry, and ready. It’s one of those protective pieces that saves you time in the long run. Less cleaning. Less worry. More confidence that your engine will look and perform the way you expect.

Why Buy OEM

With an OEM Mercury Marine part, you’re not guessing about fit or durability. This cover is shaped specifically for your FourStroke model, giving you a clean, tailored fit that generic covers simply can’t match. Aftermarket options often rub in the wrong places, fit loosely, or break down after just a season or two. Mercury’s design is tougher, more precise, and tested for the environments boaters actually encounter. When you rely on your engine, protecting it with OEM-quality gear is the practical choice.
