Our 2022 sx 23 has a back out package and the part of the ladder that is in the water has lost all of the black and is now silver, anyone ever seen that before ??

It looks like mine did when my wife forgot to pull it out of the water at our dock .
I'm not saying that is what happened with yours ,but you left no comment with your picture .
I used Dawn Platinum power wash to clean mine .
 
well the boat has the blackout package and all the black is gone from the ladder, yes the people before us left it in the water a few times... Dealer says will not cover it under warranty, boat is a 2022. wondering how to get it black again
 
Did you transfer the balance of the warranty at an authorized Bennington Dealer ?
Here is the phone number for Bennington 888 906 2628 , give them a call if you like . If you call, have your Hull ID .
 
If you dont have a copy ,here is a link to the warranty statement .

I havent read either for 2026 , but it "usually" doesnt change .

Wow, that almost looks like they replaced the ladder with a non-blackout version. I would imagine that a good cleaning, primer, and spray paint could get it closer to the blackout look, but not sure how durable it will be.
Edit: After looking at the picture again, to have all the black removed like that seems unusual. Must be a replacement or someone intentionally removed it if it was peeling.

I would have the dealer contact Bennington for a warranty claim.

I wonder if the dealer did replace the ladder with a cheap one that they painted?

If the ladder is solid and you like it, I would have it powder coated locally.
