Honwave boat cover

Post by Triumph72 » 08 Apr 2018, 16:27

Can anyone recommend an overall cover for the Honwave t40. The honda one is far too
expensive, think it comes in over £140. :roll:

Ducksback covers are around £50. I have one for my T38.

+1 for the ducksback cover.
I have one in my f-rib 375, it fits great and stays in place whilst towing hundreds of miles in all weathers.
At £50 ish I think they’re a great purchase.

Cover looks great! If we need a replacement in the future, will def look at those...

Glad to see another export from Halesowen too - along with chip shop salt & vinegar and of course the super gun for Sadam... :thud

Hi all

New member here with a recently purchased 2nd hand T38. I'll do a proper post in the new member sections in a bit, but just wanted to ask about the cover size.

My new boat came complete with an original Honwave cover that's done its job protecting the boat, but is now badly deteriorated and needs replacing.

I just wondered what size of Ducksback cover others purchased for the T38? It seems on a knife edge between size 1 and 2.

Many thanks

Simon

Sorry to double post, but I couldn't find an answer about the size of the Ducksback covers anywhere.

How generous are the covers?

Would a size 1 fit the T38 with room to spare to put a low frame underneath in an attempt to prevent pooling?

Thanks

I’ve got size 1 for my T38 and have made a basic frame to stop water collecting, it’s a good fit with a bit of room

I have just received mine for a t40 and fitted it today it is a size 2.
I have it managed to cover the boat and engine with it just

I would imagine on a t38 a 2 would be fine as well
