FunFlatsFishing Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 When the Mother-In-Law comes in town for a few days, you have her teach you how to use the sewing machine she bought your wife a few years ago. Console cover Leaning post cover Power-Pole covers Big Green Egg table cover. All for around $130. Not professional grade but will get the job done.

Now you need to match the engine cover. Ran out of fabric for the engine cover haha. I wanted to make a trolling motor cover as well. I used 600 Denier Marine Canvas. I ordered 15 yards. $133.87 shipped from Big Duck Canvas. I have a full boat cover that I use Sunday through Friday but wanted something that I could quickly throw on during the weekends to protect from the sun and rain.

whichwaysup Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Wow - I am curious - for the marine canvas, did they use a regular sewing machine or did they have something beefier? My wife sews, and eventually I'm going to have to replace my custom boat cover. Would love to have her take on the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a thicker thread to hold the seams together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Use a heavier synthetic thread that has some uv protection and a heavy guage denim jean needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFlatsFishing Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Update. I had a white interior sewn into the inside of the leaning post cover. I started to get worried that the fabric might bleed onto my white upholstered seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
