Default Boat cover or mooring cover water proofing ??

Hey guys, just a real quick eay one here, My mooring cover is in great condition, it just leaks water through like it's nothing. What if anything can I use to prevent this?

Is there something I can treat the material with? And where to get it???

Thanks -

I use this. Water runs right off and doesn't soak thru. Gave all my covers a coating 2 yrs ago and they still bead up. My bow cover is exposed to sunlight/weather full time, still water proof. I am going to recoat again before spring while the boat is shrink-wrapped.

303 is what Sunbrella recommends.

I think it says right on the Thompsons it can be used for canvas, probably work pretty good too. But I don't know how it would work on Sunbrella since it is a synthetic.
