What happened to the guy on here that sold vented motor covers? I PM him several times and never heard back. Let me know how to get a hold of him if anyone can. I bought one from him a couple years ago and really liked it.

Any other opinions on this just put a trash bag over it one day and see how it runs.

Outboard Covers of America. Not the cheapest but is the best made IMO. *3yr warranty *600lb tensile strength *Will NOT hide your trim switch *no buckles or nylon straps. *fits like a second skin *available for just about every engine made.

The movement of the cover will scratch the cowling as well; finally just took my cover off.
