Damp Sun Deck

[Sea Ray 180]

I have a 2004 Sea Ray 180 Sports and the Sun Pad seams to stay wet. It doesn't dry out and when I get on the lake Brown water drips from it onto my swim platform. Any help on drying it out. It's been out of the water for a week and it is still dripping.

Try leaving it open for a while, the water in it should all run to one end and hopefully eventually get out. I encourage my kids to drip off on the swim platform before coming further in. My sun pad has some stitched seams that serve as low points where water will bowl. I periodically open the sun pad while on the water to dump this off. Hopefully this reduces any water settling into the pad itself.
