I’m needing to store my covered rig outdoors this summer, what can I do to protect it from getting to much sun? It’s a 2005 that has usually been garage stored up until now. I’m thinking covering with a plastic tarp give the actual boat cover some protection. I’ve also noticed the original cover is fading and not as waterproof?
If I recall you have a fiberglass boat? If so a good wax twice a year will help a bunch. Plan on having the finish buffed every 2 or 3 years also.
Waxing and buffing is a Good idea, thanks
If possible park it on the north or east side of a building, that will lower the sun exposure dramatically.
The tarp covered carport structures are pretty cheaply priced. I’ve never had one but seems like it would be great for summer shade.
I used F-11 last year and trying this product this year. This technology provides great protection.

I use F-11 on my Harley. Great stuff.

Make sure you cover any tires exposed to the sun.
Shelter Logic cover. They make side curtains as well. $100 for the cover and $100 for the side curtains.

Don’t forget about moisture!
B, Good comment I opened the compartments and they were damp.
Build a new garage and be done with it…..

Wait, your looking for a cover to cover the cover that’s already covering the boat???
I’d just buy a new cover if the one you currently have is bad. Like someone alluded too, you should let it breath in those warm summer months.

Yes!
Can become a sauna with a little moisture and heat… Mold recipe.
I often ran a 20″ box fan in the boat when I stored outside.
I’ve had our boat under one of these for about 5 years. It works great but the top only lasted about 3 years
