How do I measure for a Custom Center Console Boat Cover?
This guide explains how to measure your center console for a custom-fitted Kuvr® Center Console Boat Cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 5 measurements to take, labelled A to E.
Important
Provide exact measurements with no extra allowance added. Kuvr® adds a standard tolerance of +25 mm (1 in) to the width and depth for a comfortable fit; no allowance is added to the height. You can measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover.
Please include photos
Photos of your center console, taken from a few angles alongside your measurements, help us understand the exact shape and get your cover right from the outset. Including a tape measure in shot for scale is ideal.
The measurements
A — Total width
This is the total width of the console. Measure straight across from side to side, at the widest part.
B — Total depth
This is the total depth of the console. Measure from front to back.
C — Total height
This is the vertical height from the floor to the highest point. Measure vertically from the floor, keeping the tape straight and plumb.
D — Height from base to top of wheel
This is the height from the base to the top of the steering wheel. Measure vertically from the floor, keeping the tape straight and plumb.
E — Depth from back of wheel to console rear
This is the depth from the back of the steering wheel to the rear of the console. Measure from front to back.
Frequently asked questions
How do I handle electronics, a T-top or antenna?
Measure to the outermost and highest fixed point. Fold down or remove aerials and note them, so the cover is cut to the profile you actually want covered.
Should I measure the console or my old cover?
Measure the console itself, bare. An existing cover adds thickness and gives an oversized result.
What if there is a leaning post or seat behind the console?
If a fixed seat or leaning post is to be covered, include it in your measurements and note it in your order so the cover is cut to suit.
