A cover adapted to be reversibly attached over an opening of a storage compartment contained on a personal watercraft. The cover includes a generally planar substrate having formed therein a dry storage chamber and at least one additional feature selected from the group consisting of a cup holder, an equipment rail, a surround tray, an accessory mounting plate, and a magnetic surface.
1. A cover adapted to be reversibly attached over an opening of a storage compartment contained on a personal watercraft, the cover comprising:
a dry storage chamber; and
at least one additional feature selected from the group consisting of a cup holder, an equipment rail, a surround tray, an accessory mounting plate, and a magnetic surface;
wherein the cover includes at least the additional feature of a magnetic surface, a cup holder, at least one equipment rail, and an accessory mounting plate; and
wherein the cover further includes an elastic cord on a lid of the dry storage chamber and a plurality of latches configured to secure the cover to the opening of the storage compartment.
2. The cover of 1 , wherein the cover includes at least the additional features of a magnetic surface, a cup holder, at least one equipment rail, and an accessory mounting plate.
3. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the cover is divided into a first end and a second end by a center hinge, the center hinge being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cover.
4. The cover of claim 3 , wherein the center hinge is adapted to provide 180° of rotation of the first end relative to the second end.
5. The cover of claim 4 , wherein the 180° of rotation allows a topmost surface of the first end to be brought into contact with a topmost surface of the second end.
6. The cover of claim 1 , wherein a watertight membrane is provided around a at least a portion of the perimeter edge of the cover where the cover engages the opening of the storage compartment.
7. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the dry storage chamber is a cellular device compartment.
8. The cover of claim 7 , wherein the cellular device compartment has a clear lid such that contents of the cellular device compartment can be seen through the clear lid.
9. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the cover is adapted to rotate about a hinge along a longitudinal edge of the opening.
10. A cover adapted to be reversibly attached over an opening of a storage compartment contained on a personal watercraft, the cover comprising:
a dry storage chamber, and
at least one additional feature selected from the group consisting of a cup holder, an equipment rail, a surround tray, an accessory mounting plate, and a magnetic surface;
wherein the cover is divided into a first end and a second end by a center hinge, the center hinge being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cover; and
wherein the first end and the second end have a region of overlap when the first end and second end are in a generally planar configuration and wherein the region of overlap is provided with a gasket seal adapted to prevent water from entering the storage compartment through the region of overlap.
