Vinyl floor decking stain
Hi! We have a 2016 Sweetwater. The decking outside the rail at the very front of the boat has a very large area that has a rust discoloration. Looking online, it mentions that it could be from our anchor chain. That could be a possibility as it is in the area we rest the chain when bringing in the anchor. I have also been told it might be from sunscreen, but that seems unlikely to me. If that is the problem, I am not aware of sunscreen being used on our boat, especially in that area. Any suggestions how to (if it is possible) remove this stain? I am attaching a couple pictures. Thank you! Becky

I'm not sure if it's related, but I had an issue with a 2016 Bennington where the vinyl stained and yellowed. It turned out there was a known defect in the manufacturing process where a final sealing coat was not applied to the vinyl. Bennington replaced the entire vinyl flooring under warranty. You might check with Godfrey.0

Thank you so much for responding! I sure appreciate it. Sadly, we are out of warranty. But it is something to consider!0

If it's a manufacturers defect, it might still be covered. Might be worth checking out anyway.

I try some Oxyclean and a scrub brush. Maybe even a magic eraser. These are two things that are pretty effective, but probably won’t cause any further damage. Looks like it’s on there pretty good though.0

Try cleaning companies, you'd be surprised what kind of stains they can handle0
