ABSTRACT:
A mooring cover comprises an apron for substantially surrounding a dock mooring. The apron may have two or more rows of self draining pockets arranged along its length for storing boating accessories and a fastener for securing the opposite ends of the apron about the mooring. A top cover may be provided for covering the top of the mooring as the mooring cover is mounted thereto. In an alternate embodiment, the mooring cover mounts to a railing extending along a dock. In this embodiment, the mooring cover also has an apron with a plurality of self draining pockets arranged along its length for storing boating accessories; however, the mooring cover has a flap extending from the apron adapted to wrap around and attach to the apron for securing the mooring cover to the railing.
