cover for a Zodiac hurricane 590?

openhelix · 02 January 2016, 19:22

I'm looking for a cover for my new (to me) 590. It has the full size console and a radar unit on top. Thinking this might be the best I could do without going custom - TAYLOR MADE Center Console T-Top Cover, OB, Pacific Blue, Hot Shot, 18'5"-19'4", 102" Beam | West Marine ?

Thoughts?

Most covers like that do not fit inflatables well. Because the topsides of most fiberglass boat are generally taller,many covers like that do not come down far enough to reach the tubes and be secured.

I was afraid of that. Any other ideas or just go custom?

Custom is the way to go at least that way your have a very good fitting cover..

Either custom or a regular tarp with a crapload of bungies.

There's a 590 all setup up in the Berkeley marina with the radar on top of the console. It has a nice cover on it. I will take some pics for you for reference.

Thanks! I'd really appreciate it. Any recos for a place to get it done? Heard of a good place in SJ off Brokaw, Striblings - Marine | Striblings Canvas and another in Fremont right off 880.

Right now it's tarps and bungees!

Did you end up finding a place? I went to the Berkeley marina and upon closer inspection, it was a Hurricane 533. Same radar over console though. Looks like it could actually be a universal cover with a zipper in the right spot?

I have a Zodiac 733 and went the tarp route.
Got a plastic tarp first but this is no good. Then got a canvas type and it works great. The tarp is 9m x 4m, so enough overhang. There are eyelets so I fold the tarp in under the boat and and put a rope through the eyelets. Great for weather protection but not for towing.
