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 on the Sea Hunt 196 CC from bow to stern. It wraps over the center console helm station with its hydraulic steering and electronics, covers the livewell, insulated fish boxes, and rod holders along the gunwales, protects all under-console storage areas, and encloses the outboard engine at the transom. The custom pattern follows the 196's 19'7" hull precisely — every cleat, grab rail, and deck fitting is accounted for.
Yes. The cover is patterned to accommodate any single outboard up to 150 HP on the Sea Hunt 196 CC. Whether you're running a Yamaha F150, F115, a Mercury equivalent, or anything in that range, the aft section is shaped to drape smoothly over the engine cowling and lower unit. Straps and a hem cord keep it snug and secure regardless of which engine you have mounted.
Absolutely. The cover is reinforced at every high-stress point — bow eye, console base, cleats, and transom corners — specifically for trailering. The stainless steel snaps and adjustable hem cord lock the fabric tight against the rubrail so it won't flap or lift at speed. Many 196 CC owners trailer regularly with our cover in place without any issues.
The cover is cut specifically around the 196 CC's center console profile. It rises over the helm station — clearing the windscreen, steering wheel, gauges, and any flush-mounted electronics — 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 grab rails because the pattern matches Sea Hunt's factory dimensions exactly.
The 196 CC's 53-gallon built-in fuel tank sits below the deck and doesn't affect the cover profile. The 16-degree deadrise creates a moderate-V hull shape that generic covers can't follow properly. Our cover is patterned directly from this hull geometry, following the 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.
Yes. The cover pattern accounts for the livewell, insulated fish boxes, rod holders, and all deck-mounted fishing accessories on the 196 CC. Everything under the cover stays shielded 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 storage compartments between trips.
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 196 CC stored outdoors year-round in a hot, humid coastal environment, 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 specifically for boats with a center console helm layout like the Sea Hunt 196 CC. 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 rubrail — not just draped loosely — so it stays secure in wind, sheds water correctly instead of pooling, and won't flap or rub against gel coat.
Budget covers use lightweight fabric that breaks down fast under UV exposure and traps moisture against your boat's surfaces — leading to mold, mildew, and gel coat damage. Our marine-grade canvas and Sunbrella fabrics are engineered 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 a few seasons, a quality cover actually saves money because you're not replacing it every year and your boat's surfaces stay in better condition.
Select the Sea Hunt 196 CC on our website, choose your fabric (9 oz marine canvas or Sunbrella), pick your preferred color, and complete checkout. Our team uses factory hull dimensions and a detailed pattern library specific to the 196 CC 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, note them during checkout so we can adjust the pattern accordingly.
Why Your Sea Hunt 196 CC Needs a Custom-Fitted Mooring Cover
The Sea Hunt 196 CC is a versatile center console that blends serious fishing capability with family-friendly comfort. At 19’7″ with an 8’1″ beam, a 16-degree deadrise modified-V hull, and room for up to 150 HP on the transom, the 196 handles everything from inshore flats fishing to nearshore family cruises. Our custom center console mooring cover is patterned directly from the 196 CC’s hull dimensions — wrapping the flared bow, rising cleanly over the helm console, and draping smoothly down to the transom in one seamless, form-fitting shape. Generic covers leave gaps, pool water, and flap in wind. This one doesn’t.
Built for the Sea Hunt 196 CC’s Unique Deck Layout
The 196 CC packs a lot into its 19-foot footprint — a generous livewell, insulated fish boxes, rod holders along the gunwales, a comfortable helm station with hydraulic steering, and ample under-console storage. Our cover is patterned around every one of these features. The fabric rises over the center console and windscreen without bunching, then follows one gradual slope from the console peak down to the stern. There are no loose spots where wind can push underneath and no tight areas that stress the fabric over cleats or hardware. Reinforced stitching at the bow eye, console base, and every cleat location means this cover handles trailering at highway speeds and extended outdoor storage equally well. Choose from our 9 oz marine-grade canvas — the most popular option for its balance of durability and breathability — or upgrade to Sunbrella for maximum UV and mildew resistance in harsh climates.
How Our Center Console Covers Protect Your Investment
Every day your 196 CC sits uncovered, UV rays degrade gel coat and upholstery, salt air corrodes electronics, and debris fills every compartment. A properly fitted mooring cover blocks all of it while allowing enough airflow to prevent mold and mildew underneath. Our attachment system uses stainless steel snaps, adjustable straps, and a hem cord that cinches tight along the rubrail — creating a secure seal whether your boat lives on a trailer, at the dock, or under a carport.
