......and during the season do the same with a piece of pipe insulation and you have a great place to keep your lures/flies while fishing :)

I had the boat uncovered for the past couple of weeks, those whirlybirds as you call them from the maple trees fell into my boat during the past week of rain and I went out yesterday to clean out the boat and they stained the floor bad, IN TWO DAYS. Can't get the sh!t off, tried all the soaps, bleach etc. and still there. very frustrating. :-/

Willy,

I had the same problem as you with leaves two seasons ago. I had my bimini top folded in front of the windshield and didn't put the cover (original full cover that came with the V20) until after the leaves fell. When the leaves got wet with rain, my bimini top, deck, floors got stained a cruddy brown. I used 30% bleach solution which got out some of the stain. Then I tried a 50% bleach solution which nearly took my skin off and dissolved a natural bristle paint brush I was applying it with. No luck, stains were still there. I figured that the stains were there for good. Guess what? The stains are now almost gone! The sun did what the bleach couldn't. I expect that after this season, they will be completely gone. My stains were from leaves not maple whirlybirds. I hope the whirlybirds stains aren't permanent like leaf stains, and the sun will do it's job!!!

What is that MJ, is that a brand name or just a generic term.
