I just purchased a 14ft Boston Whaler and the deck has brown stains on it. The previous owner let the boat sit under Oak three for a few months uncovered and the leaves left behind brown stains all over the deck. How do I get the stains out? What do I use? Thanks

Try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser:thumbsup:
Its made by marykate, Its called On & OFF Gel... It is some bad stuff, will pull that right out FOO SHOOO!!!!:thumbsup:
The sun bleached out some black olive tree stains in my dad's old boat
Comet and scrub brush, works great on nonskid.:thumbsup:
there is a thread on this already

Paint the boat brown:D
Westley's Bleache White whitewall cleaner, just cleaned up my 13 foot Whaler over the weekend.....
Clorax or any cheap bleach. Mop it on let it sit, rinse it off.
Soft scrub is liquid sandpaper. It will scratch the hell out of it, and allow it to stain much easier next time.
Bleach, Iron-out or Lime-away should have a good effect.
Try some toilet cleaner.....I have a Cape Horn center console and use some stuff called Sno Bowl....Does the trick.
Thanks for all of the replies guys. I really like the one where all I have to do is let it sit in the sun.

(on and off )cleaner works well on cleaning gell coat.:thumbsup: This stuff cleaned the old exhaust stains off my transome (stingray) with just spraying on, let it soak(5 minutes) and spray it off.:cheers: Great product!

That is the best way. That works almost every time.Quote:

I do trust the sun bleach method, It is amazing what the florida sun can do.
Your local marine store.... like west marine :thumbsup:Quote:

i had the same problem. the best thing I found was something called krud kutter sold at home depot. I sprayed it on while the boat was dry, let it sit a little bit, then took a scrub brush to it with some water.
good luck, the oak trees stains suck but they can come off.

:iagree: it's about $15.00Quote:

If you are going to use bleach or anything with bleach in it I would just make sure to have all your interior covered so that it doesn't splash up and leave a stain on the interior. By the looks of it you don't have much that could get hurt but thought that I would throw that out there.
Don't know about stains but gas line A/F works great on tree sap. Dave
This worked great for me also a few years back.Quote:
