Originally I contacted Outer Armor directly and they got me in contact with Poppy Company as they are their distributor. You can email or call them and they are very responsive. They will send you pictures of the cover so you can see it on a the boat. Their website doesn’t show Moombas as an option but they do make them. Here is the website.

Towing with the factory cover
So after doing some towing this weekend with the cover and paying a little better attention it definitely doesn’t flap around at all. As stated before it pulls a vacuum with the 2 ports on the top and it is definitely noticeable as the cover pulls down in front and behind the windshield the faster you go. It fits very snug and trailers awesome!!

Towing with the factory cover
Just towed mine three hours, 70-75mph and no flapping. Same thing with stock moomba cover, sucks in really well.

texsur4, so is yours the "mooring cover" that is on Outer Armor's web site? It looks like a great cover. Did you just order one that is pre made for the Makai? Looks like it fits like a glove.

I tow with same cover every time we go to the lake.......cover is terrific. My only concern every time is: How tight should I keep going on the ratchet Obviously you know what I am talking about....and its not the concern of the strap, but rather the two midship plastic clips. I always think I might break them if I go too tight, but I also know and was told when I bought it, to go tight and not loose so all the slack is out of the cover. Whats your thought?
On another note, I was concerned when driving 5 hrs away, I could see windshield outline in the cover from my rear view mirror. I was nervous the cover might wear on the fold open windshield area.......so now I put a piece of tubing insulator...the foam cell type, over that area during towing. It makes me personally feel better, but curious if anyone else got nervous over it?
This is the best cover I have had before, so the last thing I want to do is destroy it!2022 MAX

Yes it is their "mooring cover". The factory one is a "mooring cover" as well. I reached out to them and other cover manufactures right when I ordered my boat and they didn't have the pattern for it yet so I had to get the factory cover. A year later I was tired of towing without a cover so I reached back out and they were the only ones who had the pattern and they had already sold/made a bunch. They sent me some photos of it on a few different Makais and I was sold! They have the pattern for the Craz as well so yes it is "pre made" but they are made to order and it fits like a glove.

You have an Outer Armor for your Max?! That is awesome!!! I make sure my cover is good an snug when I tow with it. That being said I don't ratchet it until it wont ratchet any more but I make sure it is darn tight! I haven't really had any concerns about the cover wearing as it has extra material and stitching around the windshield area as well as other "high stress" areas and it doesn't move or flap at all but that is a great idea around that part of the windshield for some extra piece of mind.
