Cover leaking

[ryanr623]

My canvas mooring cover (snap in) looks almost new, but water seeps through the canvas and gets into my boat. It keeps MOST water out, but i don't want any in. Will formula 303 take care of this? Any other suggestions?

Try using a spray furniture wax on the cover. I use this on my biminie and it creates a seal and also keeps in flexable.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll look into it. I have heard 303 works good, although i may spring for some stuff with PTEF in it for UV protection. BassPro makes a waterproofing spray with PTEF.

Just be sure whatever treatment you apply won't impede the breathability of the fabric or you'll have other problems.

I use the 303 repellant fabric guard on my sunbrella covers every couple of years. The stuff works great, but it ain't cheap. Water will bead up on the fabric after application.See link
