Considering ordering a mooring cover from Cobalt for our R5. Pros and cons? Comparison to separate bow/cockpit covers?

I have a mooring cover on my R3 and have had bow/cockpit covers on previous boats. Mooring cover keeps the boat dryer and because it extends over the rub rails keeps it cleaner in my opinion. Downside is it's a little bit more of a hassle to put on but once you get the hang of it doesn't seem like a problem. I don't trailer the boat so can't comment on issues related to that.

Hey lungdoctr…so glad you found us my friend. And totally agree on your mooring cover assessment. We used our Westland mooring cover during longer downtimes between boating. It kept our hull from fading and did a better job during rainstorms keeping streaks from occurring as water ran down the boat.
Any pics of your R3? How is she powered?
And welcome aboard mate!

I prefer mooring cover over snap in covers. It also completely covers the swim step to protect it if it has a covering on it.

I have both type of covers and they all work well. We use our mooring cover when we trailer our boat or when it’s stored on the trailer short term. The cover attaches well and is secure for trailering with ratchet straps. It does take a little longer to put on than the snap on bow and cockpit cover. It covers the swim platform on our R7 so I would not use it with the boat in the water as it would be constantly getting wet.

On our R5, it never gets wet but may depend on the model of boat.

Here's my 2021 R3 with mooring cover attached. Powered with a Volvo 300 HP.
