Ive never done it, but the dust cover could easily be hosed off, if you get bugs or other “bad stuff” on it. Not to take anything away from BCB, but if you call around to some BCB dealers, you might just get a used one a bit cheaper than if you order one. I got mine used from a BCB dealer. Saved a few bucks. As I said above, since I dont tow with a cover on, I figured there was no need to spend the $ on a Deans or Aurora cover. But I also store my boat inside all the time too. It only took me two Cats before it dawned on me that I didnt need a high dollar cover.
