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 Parker 180 Coastal T-Top cover is available in three fabric options: 9oz solution-dyed polyester for heavy-duty everyday protection, a lighter 7oz polyester for budget-friendly coverage, and premium Sunbrella acrylic for maximum UV resistance and longevity. Solution-dyed fabric has the color built into each fiber, so it resists fading and won't transfer dye onto your 180 Coastal's gelcoat or cushions.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Parker 180 Coastal with the optional aluminum T-Top, with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top legs while the hardtop stays exposed above. It drapes over the console, forward console seat, leaning post, casting deck, and cockpit.
Installation takes under five minutes and can be done by one person. Drape the cover over the 180 Coastal from bow to stern, guide the cutouts around the T-Top legs, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch down the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. No tools or snaps are required.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Parker 180 Coastal. 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.
Yes. While your 180 Coastal is stored, the cover creates a complete barrier over the console electronics, seat cushions, leaning post, and deck hatches — blocking UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and pollen. Keeping the helm and upholstery covered between trips is one of the easiest ways to protect your investment.
Your Parker 180 Coastal 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 cover is highly water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. All fabrics carry a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that sheds rain and spray while staying breathable, so moisture doesn't get trapped underneath. That breathability helps keep mildew and condensation off the cushions and deck.
This cover is patterned for the standard production Parker 180 Coastal center console with the factory T-Top. It is a different pattern from the Parker 1801. If your 180 Coastal has aftermarket additions like a poling platform, outriggers, a taller T-Top, or a bow-mounted trolling motor, contact us before ordering so we can confirm fit.
The 180 Coastal 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 180 Coastal 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.

Parker 180 Coastal T-Top Boat Cover — Shallow-Water Protection for Parker’s 18-Foot Modified-V
The Parker 180 Coastal is an 18-foot center console built on Parker’s shallow-draft modified-V hull — 20’3″ overall with the motor, an 8’0″ beam, about 2,700 lbs dry, 13 inches of hull draft, a 14-degree deadrise, a 40-gallon fuel tank, and a single outboard of up to 150 HP. Parker builds its boats in Beaufort, North Carolina, and the 180 Coastal carries that no-nonsense, fully composite construction into a versatile inshore platform: a flush-deck bow for casting, a forward console seat with a 17.5-gallon insulated livewell, an aluminum leaning post with a rocket launcher, and eight gunwale rod holders plus under-gunnel rod storage. With the optional anodized aluminum T-Top, it’s a small boat with a lot of gear worth protecting. This T-Top cover is built for boats stored out of the water — if you keep your boat in a wet slip, our center console curtain is designed for in-water use and protects the helm between trips.
Tailored to the 180 Coastal’s Flush-Deck Layout
The 180 Coastal’s layout is simple, and a good cover should follow it closely instead of hanging loose over an 18-foot hull. This cover is pattern-cut to wrap cleanly around the T-Top legs and drape over the console, the forward console seat and livewell, the leaning post and rocket launcher, the flush casting deck, and the gunwale rod holders, while the aluminum hardtop stays exposed above. Installation takes under five minutes solo — drape it from bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. The cover is built for storage on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not travel, and towing with it on voids the warranty. With just 13 inches of hull draft, the 180 Coastal launches easily at shallow ramps. Moving up in the Parker lineup? See the Parker 1801 T-Top cover.
Protection That Matches Parker Quality
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection with a 5–7 year service life, a lighter 7oz fabric for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade-resistant protection. Every option is water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams to stand up to salt spray, summer storms, and the sun that bakes a small boat’s console electronics, seat cushions, and gelcoat. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — because every cover is made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks.
