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 Mako 221 T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for reliable 5-7 year protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of UV and weather resistance. A lighter 7oz option is also available. All fabrics are solution-dyed through the fiber for colorfastness and long-term durability.
Yes. The Mako 221 T-Top cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs. The cover drapes from the hardtop frame down to the rubrail, leaving the white fiberglass hardtop roof exposed on top while fully enclosing the hull, console, and cockpit below.
Installation takes one person under five minutes. Drape the cover over the bow, align the T-Top cutouts around the support legs, pull the fabric aft past the console and leaning post, then secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs along the gunwale. No tools required.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Mako 221. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Absolutely. The Mako 221 T-Top cover creates a complete barrier over the helm console, fishfinder, GPS, VHF radio, leaning post cushions, and all cockpit surfaces. The water-repellent fabric blocks UV rays, rain, salt spray, and airborne debris that cause fading and deterioration.
Your Mako 221 cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
The Mako 221 T-Top cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off the fabric surface. The cover is also breathable, allowing trapped moisture and condensation to escape rather than pooling underneath — which prevents mildew growth.
Yes. This cover is designed to fit all standard production years of the Mako 221 equipped with a factory T-Top. Since the 221's hull dimensions and T-Top mounting points have remained consistent across production, the cover fits all model years without modification.
The Mako 221 cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Mako 221 cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Mako 221 T-Top Boat Cover — Extended-Range Offshore Muscle
The Mako 221 is a 22’8″ center console with an 8’0″ beam, weighing approximately 2,500 pounds and rated for up to 250 horsepower. The 221 sits at the upper end of Mako’s single-engine T-Top lineup, pairing a sharp 19-20 degree deadrise with a 130-gallon fuel tank that delivers the extended range serious offshore anglers demand. With a draft of approximately 14 inches and the Mako Tough construction that has proven itself in saltwater since 1967, the 221 is built for anglers who run hard and fish far. This custom-fitted T-Top cover protects the 221’s cockpit, console, electronics, and fishing hardware, and is part of a full line of center console boat covers engineered for every hull size and layout.
Tailored to the 221’s Offshore Fishing Layout
The Mako 221 features a deep cockpit with a center console, padded leaning post, transom livewell, insulated fishbox, integrated rod holders, and ample under-gunwale storage — a layout designed for tournament-style fishing that needs comprehensive protection when the boat is at rest. This cover is pattern-cut to wrap around the T-Top support legs, clear the console and leaning post profiles, and accommodate the single transom-mounted outboard. Adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the gunwale and a hem cord at the rubrail lock the cover in place. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not highway travel. One person installs the cover in under five minutes, and the same trailerable construction is shared across the Mako T-Top lineup including the Mako 212 T-Top cover.
Protection That Matches Mako Tough Standards
Fabric options include 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for five to seven years of UV and weather resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic extending protection to eight to ten years. Both fabrics feature a DWR water-repellent finish, mildew resistance, and breathable construction that allows trapped moisture to vent while blocking rain and salt spray. Every seam is double-stitched for durability, and each cover ships with our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric). This same level of tailored protection is available across comparable offshore platforms like the Sea Fox 226 Traveler T-Top cover.
