🧵 How to Choose the Right Yamaha Waverunner Cover for Your Model

When it comes to protecting your Yamaha Waverunner, a high-quality cover isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. But with multiple models and styles available, how do you know which cover is the right one for your PWC?

Whether you ride a VX Cruiser, FX HO, or a GP SVHO, choosing a properly fitted cover ensures better protection, longer-lasting materials, and less time spent cleaning and maintaining your watercraft.

Here’s what to look for when selecting the perfect Yamaha Waverunner cover.

🏁 1. Know Your Waverunner Model

Before you buy a cover, you need to know the exact model and year of your Yamaha Waverunner. Even slight differences in hull shape or seating can affect how a cover fits.

Popular series include:

  • VX Series (e.g. VX Deluxe, VX Cruiser, VX Limited)
  • FX Series (e.g. FX HO, FX Cruiser SVHO)
  • GP Series (e.g. GP1800R HO, GP SVHO)
  • EX and SuperJet models

👉 You can find this info on your registration or owner's manual — or look it up in our Waverunner Covers Collection.

🧵 2. Choose Genuine Yamaha Covers for the Best Fit

Aftermarket covers may be cheaper, but they often provide generic sizing that doesn’t fit snugly — leading to flapping, moisture buildup, and UV exposure.

Genuine Yamaha covers are:

  • Designed to fit your exact model like a glove
  • Made with marine-grade, UV-resistant materials
  • Tested for trailering, rain, and wind resistance
  • Equipped with built-in ventilation panels and secure straps

✅ At Port Yamaha, we only stock OEM Yamaha covers — so you're getting top-tier protection with every purchase.

🌧️ 3. Consider Where You Store Your Waverunner

Trailering your PWC?
Choose a cover labeled “Mooring & Trailering” — these are reinforced and secure enough for highway speeds.

Storing it at the dock or in a garage?
You can go with a mooring-only cover that’s easy to take on and off.

☑️ Look for features like:

  • Ventilation panels to prevent mildew
  • Ratchet or strap systems for secure fit
  • Zippered fuel access so you don’t have to remove the cover every time you gas up

🔧 4. Don’t Forget Accessories

When you’re protecting your Waverunner, consider pairing your cover with:

  • Tie-down kits
  • Fitted mats or bumpers
  • Storage bags for the cover

These items help extend the life of your cover and keep your PWC looking showroom-ready.
