Yes I did, didn't have pictures for him. Uncovered it again in January to find it worse than ever, took pictures. Center tube now taking on water so I am trying to revive the stain problem with the remedy for cracks in the tubes.

Stopped at the local dealer today and showed pictures to service manager. He requested that I email them to him so he can pass them along to the factory folks. Will keep the forum updated.

I see some responses on this topic are from "Team Bennington", I assume that is someone in at the plant in Indiana. I would like to send you some photos of who this looked when I uncovered it in October. Again, the sun eventually lightens these stains but the surface is left dry, yellow and...

Was there a Club Event following the Dealers Show in Elkhart this year?

Been using it since it came on the market, it does not prevent this problem.

I have actually used a vinegar/water solution to clean windows and glass with great results but I have never considered its use on vinyl boat seat covers. Have you used it on mold/mildew with successful results?

Although the playpen cover (just replaced 2 weeks ago) was totally bleached out where it sat on the tops of the seats, I agree, I dont think it was cover bleed. It is doing the same thing and worse under the new "Sunbrella" mooring cover with white terrycloth towels on the seat tops. I have...

The boat is an 07 and I have been using 303 since it was new. It still gets mildew stained no matter what I do. The playpen cover was the standard brown and the new Sunbrella cover is taupe but even with a white terrycloth towel between the cover and seat, they are turning brown.

Whenever I take my playpen cover off, the tops of all the seats have a nasty brown stain on them. The only thing that seems to get it off is the sun but it leaves the stained area yellow and very dry feeling.

I agree with those who suggest that you should always power the boat to its limit. Best Performance and control.

After describing how I was going to use my 2575 (Half Michigan fresh water Half Florida salt water) my salesperson set me up with a tandem axle Hoosier trailer with surge brakes. This turned out to be a poor choice as the salt water ruined all the brakes and rusted all the shackles and nuts...
