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