[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 476029, member: 15636"] With the shortened New England boating season [i](mid-May to Oct, or later if/as I can) [/i]my skiffs and the 20+ others are out on the boat dock 24/7 in the full sun with saltwater exposure. With that said, I don't cover the boat but [b][color=#0000FF]anything material or plastic that the UV could destroy gets covered[/color][/b], e.g., seats, controls, console, OB motor hood (if newer motors), etc. I get maybe 4-5 seasons out of those cheap Taylor $13 polyester folding seat covers and find they last the longest by washing lightly in the washing machine at the end of the season. I even take an old t-shirt and wrap it around the side control box to keep the sun off the black and red levers. People who don't do this, their levers are sun-baked white, lol! [/QUOTE]
