I made a neoprene cover for my cockpit on my sea kayak, which was not a big deal, and it's a non-standard size, so probably just as easy. I typically store my paddling gear in the kayak while I'm transporting it, so it's like a big cargo box.
Anyway- I ran across some cockpit cover/gear bags by a company called Fat Eddy's Threadworks. They're brilliant. Big mesh gear bag, with a heavy heavy nylon top that's shock-corded and fits around your cockpit. They're for my whitewater kayaks, where keeping your gear together during shuttles can be challenging. If it's in a gear bag that's on your cockpit it will never get separated.
Unfortunately, Fat Eddy's is out of business, but I was cruising Sierra Trading Post the other day and saw that Sea to Summit is now selling a bag that is very similar to the Fat Eddy's bags. They also have straight cockpit covers for cheap on STP. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/sea-to-summit-solution-gear-trip-kayak-cockpit-cover~p~7380k/?filterString=s~sea-to-summit%2F&colorFamily=01
