I think it's quite possible to make a Sunbrella cover for it and to put it on a rail.

Conversely, you could get five-pounder ones and mount them either side of that quarter-berth portlight. Leave the portlight closed but undogged while motoring (it's unlikely to let in water unless you have big following seas and are getting pooped, right?). If needed, you can reach in and unclip them from the interior of the cockpit sides and then fire down the companionway to get at the bigger ones below.

I have the same issue of no cockpit lockers (flush aft deck), but I have enough overhang of the pilothouse roof aft that I can tuck a 10-pounder up and under the "eaves" and it's 99% out of the weather.
