Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 2300 features a 21-degree deadrise compared to the 19-degree modified-V found on the 1900, 2020, and 2220. This steeper deadrise creates different hull contours, particularly at the bow sections. Our pattern engineering accounts for these differences precisely, ensuring the cover drapes correctly over the 2300's deeper V-shape without leaving gaps or excess material.
Yes. The fuel fill, gauge, and access points are within the deck area protected by the cover. For boats with large fuel systems, preventing salt corrosion around fuel fittings is especially important given the higher replacement costs. The cover keeps these components clean and protected between outings.
No. The 2300 and 2300 Bluewater share similar dimensions but have different console configurations. The Bluewater has a taller enclosed console with a head compartment. Each model gets a cover custom-cut to its specific hull and T-Top geometry. Always verify your exact model before ordering.
The livewell, its aerator pump, plumbing, and drain fittings are all within the cover's protection zone. UV radiation and salt corrosion are the primary causes of livewell pump failure and seal degradation. Keeping these components covered during storage extends their service life significantly.
The cover terminates at the transom area forward of the outboard engine, regardless of engine size. Your motor remains fully exposed and accessible for maintenance, flushing, and winterizing. The cover's aft edge is pattern-cut to fit the 2300's transom cleanly without interfering with engine access.
We recommend 316 stainless steel carabiners or cleat brackets to secure the cover's integrated tie-down loops to your dock cleats, boat lift frame, or mooring hardware. Stainless steel prevents rust staining on the fabric and boat surfaces. For the 2300's size, 6–8 attachment points around the perimeter provide secure coverage.
The cover is designed for normal seasonal storage conditions. For hurricane preparation, remove the cover and follow your marina's storm protocol. The tie-down system handles typical seasonal wind and weather, but extreme storm conditions exceed the design parameters of any fabric cover.
Yes. The cover works on dock lifts, boat stands, canal moorings, and dry storage racks. On a boat stand, the cover drapes down the hull sides and secures with tie-down loops to the stand frame or adjacent cleats. Installation takes about 15–20 minutes regardless of storage type.
Custom covers are fabricated to order with a typical lead time of 2–3 weeks. During peak season, lead times may extend to 4 weeks. Rush options are available for an additional fee. Contact our sales team for current availability.
The 2300 uses Key West's legacy 4-digit naming convention but receives the same precision cover engineering as any current-production model. We maintain hull patterns for every Key West model ever produced. Your legacy 2300 gets the same quality, materials, and attention to fit as the newest boats in the lineup.
