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 complete hull coverage on the Triton 188 from bow to stern. It wraps over the center console with its Yamaha Digital Command Link gauges and Baystar hydraulic steering, covers the 20-gallon aft livewell, protects the 105-quart insulated bow storage box, encloses the rear jump seats, and drapes over the outboard engine and swim platform. Every gunwale rod holder, recessed cleat, and deck fitting is accounted for in the custom pattern.
Yes. The cover is patterned to accommodate any single outboard up to 150 HP on the Triton 188, including the Yamaha F150, F115, or any engine in between. The aft section is shaped to drape smoothly over the engine cowling and lower unit past the swim platform, secured with straps and a hem cord so it stays snug during storage and trailering.
The cover is cut specifically around the Triton 188's center console profile. It rises over the helm station — clearing the windscreen, grab rail, steering wheel, and flush-mounted gauges — then follows one gradual, unbroken slope from the console peak down to the stern. There are no awkward gaps around the windscreen or bunching around the grab rail because the pattern matches Sea Hunt's factory dimensions exactly.
Absolutely. The cover is reinforced at every high-stress point — bow eye, console base, recessed cleats, and transom corners — specifically for trailering. The stainless steel snaps and adjustable hem cord lock the fabric tight against the stainless steel rub rail so it won't flap or lift at speed. The Triton 188's compact 18'8" hull and our tailored fit make trailering with the cover a routine, no-hassle operation.
Yes. The cover pattern accounts for the 20-gallon aft livewell, the 40-quart insulated console cooler, the 105-quart bow storage box, and all other built-in compartments. Everything stays protected from UV rays, rain, salt spray, and debris. The breathable fabric also prevents moisture buildup that could promote mold or mildew inside the livewell and cooler between trips.
Sea Hunt's proprietary Vortec hull with 16-degree deadrise creates a distinctive V-shaped profile that generic covers can't follow properly. Our cover is patterned directly from this hull geometry, following the sharper V at the bow and the transition to the flatter running surface aft. The result is fabric that lies flat against the hull without excess material that could flap in wind or pool water on top — a fit that only a model-specific pattern can deliver.
The 9 oz marine-grade canvas is our most popular choice — it's tough, breathable, and handles rain and UV exposure well at an excellent price point. Sunbrella fabric is a premium upgrade that delivers superior UV resistance, longer color retention, and enhanced mildew protection. Both fabrics are water-repellent and breathable. For a Triton 188 stored outdoors year-round in a hot, humid coastal climate, Sunbrella is worth the investment. For trailer storage or covered slips, the 9 oz canvas performs extremely well.
A center console mooring cover is engineered for boats with a center console helm layout like the Sea Hunt Triton 188. Unlike a universal tarp, it's patterned to rise over the console and then slope smoothly down to the gunwales and transom in one fitted shape. It attaches with snaps and straps along the rub rail — not just draped loosely — so it stays secure in wind, sheds water properly, and won't pool or flap. The custom fit also means no excess fabric rubbing against gel coat or hardware.
Budget covers use lightweight fabric that degrades quickly under UV and traps moisture against your boat's surfaces — accelerating mold, mildew, and gel coat damage. Our marine-grade canvas and Sunbrella fabrics are purpose-built for the marine environment: breathable to prevent condensation, UV-resistant to protect finishes, and reinforced at stress points with stainless steel hardware that won't corrode. Over two or three seasons, a quality cover saves money because you're not replacing it annually and your boat's surfaces stay in better condition.
Select the Sea Hunt Triton 188 on our website, choose your fabric option (9 oz marine canvas or Sunbrella), pick your color, and complete checkout. Our team uses factory hull dimensions and a detailed pattern library specific to the Triton 188 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 additions like a trolling motor, electronics, or custom rigging, note them during checkout so we can adjust the pattern.
Why Your Sea Hunt Triton 188 Deserves a Custom-Fitted Cover
The Sea Hunt Triton 188 is one of the most capable inshore center consoles in its class. At 18’8″ with a 7’9″ beam, a proprietary Vortec hull with 16-degree deadrise, and room for up to 150 HP on the transom, the Triton 188 handles coastal bays, grass flats, and nearshore runs with the confidence of a much larger boat. Our custom center console mooring cover is patterned from the Triton 188’s exact hull shape — wrapping the flared bow entry, rising cleanly over the console with its Yamaha Digital Command Link gauges and Baystar hydraulic steering, and draping down past the rear jump seats to the transom in one seamless, form-fitting shape that no generic cover can replicate.
Built for the Triton 188’s Feature-Packed Deck
Sea Hunt loaded the Triton 188 with fishing-first features — a 20-gallon aft livewell with high-speed pickup, a 40-quart insulated console cooler, a 105-quart insulated bow storage box, gunwale rod holders, under-gunwale rod storage, and recessed stainless steel cleats. Our cover accounts for every one of these elements in the pattern. The fabric rises over the center console and windscreen without bunching, then follows one gradual slope from the console peak down to the swim platform. There are no loose spots where wind can push underneath and no tight areas that stress the fabric over hardware. Reinforced stitching at the bow eye, console base, and every cleat location means this cover handles trailering at highway speeds and months of outdoor storage equally well. Choose from our 9 oz marine-grade canvas — by far the most popular option — or upgrade to Sunbrella for maximum UV and mildew resistance in harsh southern climates.
How Our Covers Keep Your Triton 188 Ready to Fish
Sun, salt air, rain, and bird droppings attack gel coat, upholstery, and electronics every day your boat sits uncovered. A properly fitted mooring cover blocks all of it while allowing enough airflow to prevent moisture buildup underneath. Our attachment system uses stainless steel snaps, adjustable straps, and a hem cord that cinches tight along the stainless steel rub rail — creating a wind-resistant seal whether your Triton 188 lives on a trailer, at a dock, or under a carport. Browse our complete collection of custom boat covers to see how we protect every model on the water. Anglers who also fish the Triton series will want to see our cover for the Sea Hunt 225 Triton T-Top, and if you own the non-Triton hull, check out our dedicated Sea Hunt 188 center console cover as well.
