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 23 cover uses 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric engineered for five to seven years of UV and weather resistance. A 7oz lighter option and a Sunbrella acrylic premium upgrade (eight to ten years) are also available.

Mako 23 T-Top Boat Cover — Modern Offshore Performance
The Mako 23 brings modern engineering to Mako’s offshore heritage in a 23’4” center console with an 8’6” beam and a 21-degree deadrise hull built on a one-piece stringer grid system. Rated for up to 350 horsepower and carrying 136 gallons of fuel at approximately 5,010 pounds dry, this platform handles rough water with authority while dual insulated 135-quart fish boxes and twin transom livewells keep your catch tournament-ready. Mako has been building dedicated fishing boats since 1967, and the 23 represents the latest evolution of that commitment. A custom-fitted center console boat cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers shields every component from the elements between trips.
Tailored to the 23’s Feature-Packed Cockpit
Our cover is pattern-cut to the Mako 23’s specific hull dimensions, wrapping under the T-Top frame and around the console with its integrated Garmin electronics, cushioned forward seating, and transom jump seat. Reinforced cutouts seat cleanly against the T-Top legs without excess fabric, and adjustable tie-down straps with a hem cord at the rubrail lock everything in place. Installation takes under five minutes solo — drape, feed through the cutouts, strap, and buckle. The cover is engineered for highway-speed trailering with reinforced stress points, and at about 18 inches of draft the 23 loads and launches without issue. For the next size up in the Mako T-Top lineup, explore the Mako 254 cover built with the same attention to fit.
Protection That Matches Mako Innovation
Select our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for five to seven years of dependable UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to Sunbrella acrylic for eight to ten years of premium performance. Both options are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable — rain beads off while trapped moisture escapes from underneath. Solution-dyed construction locks pigment into the fiber so there is zero dye transfer to your 23’s gel coat. Double-stitched seams and a 2-year manufacturer warranty come standard on every cover. Anglers with a smaller Mako center console can also check out the Mako 20 center console cover for the same premium build quality.
