Just had them do my cover a couple weeks ago during the eliminator regatta. It turned out ok. I will keep looking for a place it get it clean. I still had to shake it out to get lots of dust out. I kinda wondered if it really got washed to be honest.

How much did it cost to get a whole boat cover dry cleaned?

I think I paid $35 or $40.

$40

coin operated LARGE machines to DYI, with regular soap and water .

A cover comes out 'rather wet' after the spin cycle, but they air dry pretty quickly out here .

I think when you wash a Sunbrella boat cover it may loose it's water repellant coating.

I just washed my pretty old sunbrella cover at a coin op and it was $8.00. After it was washed it did dry completely and rained on it the next day and it seemed to shed water just fine with a dry interior. I was kinda surprised.

It does, but you can reapply sealant as necessary. I use 303 Fabric Guard and Protectant once a year. It's about $60/gallon but I get two years coverage for a full tow cover on a 25' boat. Used it for 8 years now and the cover is still in good shape.
