Basically the cover is just a cloth bag with a drawstring. Go to a thrift store and get a large pillow case and make a pattern from it. Then chose a nice outdoor fabric and sew away.
You can buy the covers. I made one/sewed one. Just pulled the fabric around the Magma, then cut some notches to "custom fit the bottome around the mounting brackets and regulator. Or, use a pillow case.
I made ours. I didn't have a pattern. I just took some measurements and cut it out of matching Sunbrella. I used a drawstring. When we bought our current boat we took it with us. It matched. It works well. Make it a little big so it's easier to take it on and off. Sewed it with my wife's hobby machine.
Good advice.
Anyone who can "claim" to sew on a machine and with stiffer Sunbrealla to boot, should be able to figure the "pattern" out before they even cut.
I know that for sure. My wife did ours! Too.
I used my most worn-out canvas bag with straps. That holds the grill with the stanchion mount attached, and a grill scraper brush and a pair of tongs.
I love this arrangement because the dirty grill (I'll never clean the exterior) stays in the bag even mounting it to the stanchion. I slide it off once it's on, slide it on when the grill is cool, and detach.
It's the last bag hanging below the deck in this photo (forward of the CNG tanks). With a knot in each strap to shorten, the bags hang in this wasted space from rope hooks fastened below side decks.
