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
This cover provides full hull coverage from bow to stern on the Sea Hunt 177. It wraps over the center console with its Teleflex Baystar hydraulic steering system, covers the 15-gallon aerated livewell, protects the rear pop-up jump seats, and encloses the outboard engine at the transom. Every rod holder, cleat, and gunwale-mounted accessory is accounted for in the custom pattern.
Yes. The cover is patterned to accommodate any single outboard up to 135 HP on the Sea Hunt 177, including the standard Yamaha F115. The aft section is shaped to drape smoothly over the engine cowling and lower unit, secured with straps and a hem cord so it stays snug during storage and trailering.
The cover is cut specifically around the 177's center console profile. It rises over the helm station — clearing the steering wheel, gauges, and any flush-mounted electronics — then slopes gradually toward the stern. There are no awkward bunches or gaps around the windscreen or grab rails because the pattern follows the factory dimensions exactly.
Absolutely. The cover is built with reinforced stitching at every high-stress point — bow eye, console base, and cleat locations — specifically to handle highway wind loads. The stainless steel snaps and adjustable hem cord keep it locked down tight against the rubrail. Many Sea Hunt 177 owners trailer regularly with our cover in place without any issues.
The Sea Hunt 177's modified-V hull with 16-degree deadrise and Carolina Flare creates a distinctive hull profile that generic covers can't match. Our cover is patterned directly from this hull shape, following the flare of the bow sections and the transition to the flatter running surface aft. This means the fabric lies flat against the hull without excess material that could flap or collect water.
The 9 oz marine-grade canvas is our most popular choice — it's tough, breathable, and handles rain and UV exposure well for the price. Sunbrella fabric is a premium upgrade that offers superior UV resistance, longer color retention, and enhanced mildew protection. Both fabrics are water-repellent and breathable. For a Sea Hunt 177 stored outdoors full-time in a southern climate, Sunbrella is worth the upgrade. For trailer storage or covered slips, the 9 oz canvas performs excellently.
The cover is patterned with the rear pop-up jump seats in the folded-down position, which is the standard storage configuration. This gives the cleanest fit and best water shedding. If you prefer to leave them up, let us know when ordering and we can discuss pattern adjustments, though the down position is recommended for optimal cover performance and protection.
A center console mooring cover is designed specifically for the layout of center console boats like the Sea Hunt 177. Unlike a generic tarp or universal cover, it is patterned to rise over the center console helm station, then slope down to the gunwales and transom in a single fitted shape. It attaches with snaps and straps along the rubrail rather than just being draped over the boat, which means it stays secure in wind and sheds water properly instead of pooling.
Bargain covers use lightweight fabrics that break down quickly under UV exposure and trap moisture against your boat's surfaces. Our marine-grade canvas and Sunbrella fabrics are engineered for the marine environment — they're breathable enough to prevent mold and mildew while blocking UV rays that crack vinyl and fade gel coat. The reinforced stitching and stainless hardware we use also outlast the plastic grommets and thin webbing found on generic covers. Over a few seasons, a quality cover actually costs less because you're not replacing it every year.
Ordering is straightforward — select your Sea Hunt 177 model on our site, choose your preferred fabric (9 oz marine canvas or Sunbrella), and complete checkout. Our team uses factory hull dimensions and a detailed pattern library to build your cover. Each cover is cut, sewn, and finished with stainless steel snaps, adjustable straps, and a hem cord before shipping directly to you. If you have aftermarket accessories or modifications, mention them in the order notes so we can account for them in the pattern.
Why Your Sea Hunt 177 Deserves a Custom-Fitted Cover
The Sea Hunt 177 is a nimble, no-nonsense center console built for anglers who want serious fishing capability in a trailerable package. With a 17’7″ hull, modified-V design with Carolina Flare, and a single outboard up to 135 HP, this boat punches well above its weight class on inshore waters. Our custom center console mooring cover wraps every contour of the 177’s deck — from the pointed entry at the bow, up and over the helm console with its Teleflex Baystar hydraulic steering, and down to the integrated rear jump seats — delivering a single, seamless fit that generic covers simply cannot match.
Built for the Sea Hunt 177’s Unique Layout
Every Sea Hunt 177 cover we produce is patterned specifically for this hull. The cover rises cleanly over the center console and T-top mounting points, then follows one gradual slope down to the transom without bunching or pooling. The 15-gallon aerated livewell, rod holders, and gunwale-mounted accessories are all accounted for in the pattern, so there are no loose spots where wind and rain can work their way underneath. Reinforced stress points at the bow eye, console base, and cleat locations mean this cover stands up to trailering speeds and extended outdoor storage alike. Choose from our 9 oz marine-grade canvas — the most popular option for its balance of breathability and durability — or upgrade to Sunbrella fabric for maximum UV and mildew resistance.
How Our Center Console Covers Protect Your Investment
Leaving a center console exposed between trips invites UV damage to upholstery, corrosion on electronics, and debris buildup in every compartment. A properly fitted mooring cover keeps all of that out while allowing enough airflow to prevent mold and mildew beneath the fabric. Our covers attach with a combination of stainless steel snaps, adjustable straps, and a hem cord that cinches tight along the rubrail, creating a secure seal even in high winds. Whether you store your Sea Hunt 177 on a trailer, at a dock, or under a carport, this cover makes sure she’s ready to fish the moment you pull it off. Explore our full lineup of center console boat covers to see how we protect every model, or check out the cover built for the Sea Hunt 22 Navigator T-Top if you’re shopping for a second boat in the family. Anglers who fish similar inshore waters also trust our cover for the Sea Hunt 172 Triton center console.
