Have you seen these sold individualy at any online store
The white covers for the shroud adjusters and will they fit over a ready made shroud? or do they need to be installed during shroud assembly?
Also do they have a name ? or simply shroud adjuster covers? Thanks!

Hi Splash,

I got a pair of black ones at my dealer for about $8 US. I was able to put them over already-made shrouds, but I have roller swaged ends instead of hydraulic swaged ends - the eyes are much smaller and fit through the covers easily. If you have the hydraulic swages you could probably open up the tops of the covers with a knife to allow the larger eyes to pass through.

The cover can be put on without cutting. Just take your time and they will stretch over the eye.

I have roller swaged ends at bottom and hydraulic swaged ends at the top of the shrouds so I would be ok

I put the on my old H16 and they streached over the swages. Well worth the money. Keeps things from getting caught... and makes the boat look nicer.
