2016 Harris Omni 200 cover

#1 Post by Dablauv » Sat Apr 20, 2024 8:32 am

Does anybody out there have a Harris Omni 200? If so, and it still has the tag on the factory mooring cover identifying the manufacturer, could you please let me know who made it for Harris. Mine is missing and Harris has no idea who made it. You’d figure they would have a bill of materials on the boat based on the serial number. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I cannot say with any certainty but there is a good chance Dowco made it as some of the replacement stuff available online for Harris is made by Dowco and Dowco is a Harris partner, but not sure how long they've been partners. You know how partnerships go....with the money. Suppliers change.

They made my top and I had the boot split open at one of the zipper seams during towing while it was still under warranty and during the 2020 COVID everyone is swamped era. I emailed them about getting a replacement and they said because of the goings ons, it would probably be faster for me to send it in and let them repair it vs making one. They just ran my VIN number and had the info. Sure enough, I had it back a week after I sent it.

You may have a reason you want a "factory cover," but covers made by local canvas shops are often even better than the original and sometimes cost less. I've had two made locally (for two different boats) and they were great.

Another consideration is if you get one from the manufacturer (or the third party that makes it for the manufacturer), the female part of the snaps will almost certainly have to be installed after you lay it over your boat to make sure they line up with the male parts that are on your boat. Whereas a local canvas company will also likely install the snaps.
