Microplus 502 Explorer Boat Covers From £969
Check Your Microplus 502 Explorer Cover Layout
Use this page when enquiring about a boat identified as a Microplus 502 Explorer. Confirm the exact designation from your own boat and any available documentation. A matching name in the catalogue does not establish the cover pattern, support layout or fastening positions.
Show the cover area on your own boat: the cockpit opening, windscreen profile, retained supports and complete fastening line. Explain whether you need replacement canopy panels, a cockpit or tonneau cover, or assessment of an existing cover for repair. Do not assume another Microplus cover has the same shape or fittings.
UK Boat Covers is based in Carterton, Oxfordshire. We supply replacement cover fabric by post across the UK. We assess your existing cover, retained supports and fastenings before agreeing the work. Cover fabric only; no new supporting frames or framework installation.

Photos for Your Replacement-Cover Assessment
- Photograph your Microplus 502 Explorer from each side with the existing cover fastened normally, including the front and rear edges.
- Show the windscreen, any retained frame or poles, the complete fastening line and places where the cloth sits too tightly or sags.
- Show windows, zips, detachable panels, boarding access and openings or equipment the replacement must accommodate.
- Add close-ups of tears, worn cloth, seams, windows and fasteners, with a wider photograph showing their position.
- Confirm the boat designation, which cover area needs work, whether an old sample is available and any changes to the supports or fittings.
Confirm the Pattern Before Removing the Cover
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
Choose the Cover Area Against Existing Supports
Replacement canopy fabric needs a suitable retained frame, screen and fastening arrangement. A cockpit or tonneau cover closes its agreed opening and needs its own support, tension and access details assessed. These labels do not establish a pattern. We supply fabric only, not new supporting frames or on-site installation.
Check Whether Repair Is Suitable
Send photographs of the fault and surrounding fabric before removing or posting the cover. General boat-cover repairs start from £70; Ryan must assess whether the remaining cloth and fittings are suitable and agree the work and quote. Repair does not promise a fixed number of extra years.
Agree Fabric, Windows and Openings
We make replacement boat covers in marine-grade PVC and acrylic canvas. Choose the fabric for the agreed cockpit, canopy or cratch area, its supports, windows and fastening line, and how you use and stow the cover. Send photos so Ryan can assess a suitable specification. We supply the cover fabric only, not new framework or framework installation. We do not make whole-boat or winter-storage covers; a fabric choice does not turn a cockpit cover into whole-boat protection.

Ordering Replacement Fabric by Post
Agree Suitability and Your Quote
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
Post the Agreed Sample
Once Ryan confirms the sample and posting instructions, remove and pack the old cover. Include the agreed job details. Confirm the current delivery address and sample-return arrangements before sending it.
Confirm the Replacement Details
A suitable old cover provides a pattern for the replacement fabric. Confirm panels, material, colour, windows, openings and fastenings; stretched or damaged cloth may need additional details rather than a direct copy.
Dispatch and Fit to Existing Supports
We aim to dispatch within 6 working days of receiving your old cover or confirmed measurements; delivery time is additional. Confirm postage arrangements and fitting requirements with Ryan. We supply replacement fabric, not supporting frames or installation.

Questions Before Ordering
Will every Microplus 502 Explorer use the same cover pattern?
No pattern is accepted from a model name alone. Confirm your boat designation and show its actual cockpit, windscreen, retained supports and fastening line. Existing alterations, stretched cloth or missing panels may require further information before a quote or sample is accepted.
Which cover should I request for my Microplus 502 Explorer?
Photograph the area you want covered and its current supports and fittings. We can assess replacement canopy fabric or an agreed cockpit or tonneau-cover opening. We do not make whole-boat or winter-storage covers, supply new supporting frames or provide on-site framework installation.
Can I order if I do not have a usable old cover?
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
What affects the Microplus 502 Explorer cover price?
The displayed catalogue figures are starting prices, with no VAT added. Confirm the cover area, suitable pattern, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and any changes before relying on a price for your own boat. Request an individual quote and agree postage and sample-return arrangements before posting.
How long does a replacement cover take?
We aim to dispatch within 6 working days of receiving your old cover or confirmed measurements; delivery time is additional. Agree the sample, specification and quote first, and confirm timing before leaving your boat uncovered.
How long will the replacement cover last?
The life of a bespoke boat cover depends on its material, exposure, fit, support, handling and care. Check the cloth, seams, windows, zips and fasteners rather than relying on a fixed number of years. A localised fault may be repairable if the surrounding fabric remains sound; widespread thinning or brittle cloth needs an assessment before more work is agreed. Send clear photos or read our repair vs replace guide to prepare your enquiry.
