Seadoo Covers Make Sense
A Seadoo is a big investment. Once that big purchase has been made, there is often very little extra cash for another purchase. However, you must find a way to get a proper Seadoo cover. You owe it to yourself to protect your asset from depreciating too quickly. Whether buying a new or used Seadoo PWC, it is possible to negotiate Seadoo covers be included in the final purchase price. At the very least you should be able to negotiate a discount on a new Seadoo PWC cover.
The vinyl and rubber components of the Seadoo are particularly vulnerable to the elements. A proper fitting cover will protect against the elements during storage. The sun and rain are particularly rough on the vinyl seating. It is also important to be aware of the damage that can be caused during the winter by exposure to ice and the freezing and thawing process. Freezing and thawing is brutal on the rubber details on the handle bars and dash. Exposure to ice is the quickest way to cause a crack and that component will have to be replaced.
It is critical is use a cover when towing your PWC on the highway. It is almost equally important to use a cover on smaller dirt roads. While on a highway, a rock is bound to get projected towards your PWC. This rock might come from your own car or a passing car. Regardless of the size of the rock, the velocity with which it hits the Seadoo will cause damage. On smaller dirt roads, it is inevitable that many rocks will get kicked back. While the velocity of these stones and rocks is much less, the quantity means that you are sure to be nicked.
There are literally dozens of different types of Seadoo covers on the market. Some are model specific while others are a one size fits all sort of deal. Each year manufacturers bring more covers to the market. Each cover should have specifics on the Seadoo PWCs that it can be used for. If in doubt, try the cover on your machine before buying it. There are light weight covers for sun protection and heavy weight covers that are better for towing and winter protection.
It is also possible to find second hand Seadoo covers. The best place to start looking for used Seadoo covers is on the bulletin board of your local marina or boat club. If you do not see any Seadoo cover “for sale” ads you could put up a “wanted” ad. Another good place to look is on electronic bulletin boards like Craigslist. Also, ask around as often people might part with an old cover but not necessarily feel like going to effort to sell it.
Be smart and invest in a proper Seadoo cover. The cost of a Seadoo cover is outweighed by the protection it affords your machine. Like any other asset, a Seadoo will last longer and stay in better shape if it is well cared for. Regardless of your budget, Seadoo covers are an essential part of Seadoo ownership.
