The look of a Mercury outboard engine is classic and unmistakable. If you want to keep that finish looking sharp for years to come, a genuine Mercury engine cover, also known as a cowl cover, can help protect it on the water, while trailering and during storage.
Why Use a Mercury Cowl Cover?
Even durable marine equipment faces plenty of wear and tear. Sun, salt, docks, tow ropes, tree branches and fishing lures can all leave scratches and dings on your outboard cowl.
Since the cowl is one of the most visible parts of your engine, a Mercury cowl cover is specifically designed to fit Mercury engines to provide an added layer of secure protection against everyday hazards while helping preserve your outboard's appearance.
Mercury Splash Covers for Use on the Water
Mercury Vented Splash Covers are designed to protect your outboard while you’re on the water. Made from marine-grade Polysoft fabric, they feature a form-fitting design, vents for airflow and a soft felt lining to help protect your engine’s finish. They’re also quick and easy to install before launching.
For waterfowl hunters, Mercury also offers a Camo Splash Cover featuring a Shoreline Grass Camouflage pattern that hides the hard lines of the engine to help you blend in on your next duck hunting trip.
Both splash covers are designed for use while operating the outboard and are not intended for trailering or long-term storage.
Mercury Tow-n-Stow Covers for Trailering and Storage
When it’s time to hit the road, switch to a Mercury Tow-n-Stow Cover. Made from Polysoft marine-grade fabric with a soft felt lining, the cover helps protect your outboard from flying gravel, road debris and bug buildup.
During storage, a Tow-n-Stow cover helps guard against UV exposure, birds, severe weather, dust and rodents. A leg strap helps keep the cover securely in place during trailering and storage.
Protect Your Outboard Season After Season
Using the right Mercury engine cover is simple. Install a Vented Splash Cover or Camo Splash Cover before launching, then switch to a Tow-n-Stow Storage Cover when trailering or storing your boat.
Taking care of the cover itself is important, too. Rinse it with clean water to remove salt and dirt, then hang it up to dry before storing it.
Find the Right Mercury Engine Cover
Mercury engine covers are model-specific and available online. Vented Splash Covers are available for most Mercury outboards 40 hp and above, while Tow-n-Stow Storage Covers are available for most models 75 hp and larger.
Whether you spend your time fishing, hunting or cruising, a genuine Mercury engine cover can help protect your outboard from the elements and everyday wear. The right cover can help keep your Mercury outboard looking sharp on the water, on the road and at home.
