bimini dye

[Thunder_SS]

I recently purchased a westland bimini sharkskin top from Iboats.com.

The problem I have is that when I lay it down to travel down the road, it actually lays on the area the the engine cover is. Even in dry times, the dye from the boot rubs off onto the vilyn. It takes Go-gone to get rid of the dye.

I have tried to wash the boot and soak it in water, did not help, dye still rubs off. How can I stop the dye transfer??

Any help here would be appreciated.

I think you will find that most folks travel with their bimini in the up (and closed) position when trailering. That would solve the problem. If that's not what you want to do then you are going to have to find a way to put some type of padding under the bimini where it contacts the rear pad. On Sea Rays factory installed mooring covers they stich a white padding to the inside of the cover where ever it touchs the vinyl seats. This is done for the express purpose of keeping dye off the vinyl and having the problem you are experiencing.
