Default Re: boat covers

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!!!
