Unlike a storage-only cover, this is a running cover — it features integrated side vents, exhaust port openings, and switch access so it can be used while the engine is operating.

Mercury makes similar covers for other engine configurations at these horsepower levels, and they are not interchangeable due to different cowling shapes and vent positions. The most common ordering mistake is customers with a 200 HP inline-six or 225 HP V6 selecting this cover by horsepower alone. Always confirm engine architecture (V6 vs. inline) and serial number before selling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324694757412,"sku":"8M0228511","price":335.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/a45a3625-931e-4d0c-bbdc-41976cca2aa1.png?v=1788374843","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-1013","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
