Agree that the boat must be completely clean and dry before covering. Two things I do that have worked well over the years. Clean the upholstery with something like 409 to remove skin oil, suntan lotion, etc., then spray on Clorox Cleanup, let stand about 5 minutes and wipe dry--don't rinse off, dry with a clean towel. Then I put on the regular boat cover, AND put a blue poly (Walmart has the best price) over the boat cover. Boat covers do not prevent rain from penetrating, the blue poly will. Blue poly will usually last two winters. Upholstery of my 1996 boat looks just like new.
