I saw those and they looked Ideal, but they're too small for my console :(

When you opened them did you see who made the cover, as it does look like they do larger sizes.

Yeh, could invent Ebay Blue Cover Paragliding Member at my footnote then.

On a different tack. Has anyone used a 12/14' Boat cover as a console and seat cover on a larger RIB? Did it work?

Is there anything cheaper than Nikwax to waterproof a large cover? I think I'd have to buy quite a few 300ml spray cans for the job
