Interior issue
I have an 06 36 w/ the carbon fiber interior and the sides of my bolsters are dis-coloring. The material is a light gray, and now it is starting to look a light tan (looks dirty). Its only happening on the sides of the bolsters.....nowhere else. My boat stays in a covered boathouse and I also keep a full cover on the boat. Anyone else having this problem? I know there was some bad carbon fiber material out there a few years ago and am wondering if this isn't the result.

Sorry to hear Don!
I have the blue on my 07 and it's holding up great. I have had a little scuffing on the top of the headrest from the wind blowing my cover around so I put a towel over them and then the cover on.
I'm wondering why just there- if you find the issue please update! Do they use a different thickness or some thing on the sides- more/less pliable or more/less abrasion resistant?

Don,
The silver CF has really bad discoloring issues. It actually happens when the underside of your Sunbrella gets wet and the waterproofing additive in the material dilutes and runs down the CF vinyl. You could look into having it sprayed or dyed, but might as well have it done right, with the newer generation CF material.

I'll let you guys know what happens. My sunbrella cover never gets wet though. My boat in under the boathouse.....covered. Its not doing it on top of the bolsters and the cover lays on them. Its just on the sides. I may see if I can take the bolster apart and send it to the factory to get redone.

NoMo, go to the grocery store and buy some Sno-Bowl...better than the other toliet cleaners...trust me...spray it on, brush it around and hose it off. Your gel will be white again.
