    Dowco Cover & 52" Ultrex works

    I remember reading on here people saying they needed to modify their Dowco covers to fit the 52" Ultrex. I have a regular Dowco cover that came with my Z21 pro package so its the one made for the Fortrex. It fits the 52" Ultrex fine but you have to lower the shaft all the way. If you keep the shaft up at all it wont fit as pictured below.

    Bad



    Good

    Not so much luck with my Z9 and 52" Ultrex. My cover came with my Z9 that had a Motorguide originally.Screenshot_20180311-113629.jpg

    I have a 2014 z7 sport with a custom dowco cover that was ordered to fit the motor guide....I recently swapped to a minkota ultex and have no issues. Fit is better than with the motor guide actually.

    Try lowering the shaft all the way down and turning the prop facing outside the boat.

    SUN FISH how does your cover look covering the ladder? Mines super tight, like it was an option or something

    I have dowco on my Z19 for dual console and it barley fit the 45" ultrex. I don't think a 52 would work.

    Looks fine, it fits perfectly when you lower the shaft all the way and face the prop out.

    I have a 2018 Z20 Dual console with a 45" Ultrex and my cover fits like 17z20's. I checked with DOWCO to see if they have a cover now that will fit over an Ultrex. DOWCO's reply: We did not pattern a cover for a dual console that will fit with an Ultrex. Thank you for your inquiry and have a great day!
    Cheers,
