-really?

Can the engines "breath properly" with covers on them?

we had that member Shinanigan with a quintrex cc, over on some tropical island that always had his cover on a Suzuki.
Notice these in the video are also suzi-zuki's.

Are we Americans missing something? Or am I flying solo, because I never see anyone with a cloth cover on their cowling around here.

I don't believe that's the intention for them. :?: :?: :?: :?:

"These covers that are designed to "stay on the motor" while on & off the water, they cover the cowling section of the motor"

The spash cover will help to keep your engine cowl in "as new condition."

Splash Covers� provide protection from the elements such as:

Fishing lures & sinkers
* Diving Belts
* Sticks & Branches
* Reduces Noise by up to 10%


Not my thing.....I love to hear the motor work hard makes me feel like I'm getting my monies worth after a hard day of fishing and paying $4.87 at the marina

Where did ya find that Alloy????/

My Honda is a whopping 6 years old and looks like SHET!

Their paint jobs suck. Theres parts of my cowling that are paintless. So....if I had one of these "Engine Diapers" on all the time, I guess my 18K investment would look better???

B-U-T why? Why do we need a diaper, how about a better paint job. ( I notice suzi-suki folk are the ones using them) Maybe it's a thang amongst zuki owners?

I never got the bulletin :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Capt. Dave, my guess is something to do with the heat and discoloration down yonder :?: :?: :?:

Or maybe the noise :?: :?: :?:

Really? Could it be the PO-lice???? Really? Are ya sure??


Hmmmm, yeah I have a storage cover especially for those hot humid muggy summer nights when the B-U-G-S are so thick under my garage boat port lights have them all crawlin' in my O/B.

SABS,
yeah it's a heat, sun, and southern thang. Don't know if the sun shines long enough up yer way to warrent. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Honda should "give" each customer with shetty paint jobs after 6 years one of these as a parting gift.
