will this cover bleed an stain my boat?

We used it over the winter and it did not stain or bleed. We have a Lowe 24' pontoon boat. The cover did rip in a couple of places where it covered the fold down top. It's not heavy enough to keep from hold up for monthly outdoor storage. I was disappointed.

It did stain my boat, blue cover, and it has faded and ripped. I guess you get what you pay for. Won't be able to use it more than one season.

Frank I have had mine in the rain and see no evidence of staining or run off. Nice cover.

I'm pretty sure it will. I was just checking out my boat yesterday and was amazed at how dry it was inside after going through the winter. it is a very nice cover.

It will help protect it but the fabric will still stain. It helps but doesn't not fully protect. Make sure you spray down throughly.

No problem with the color bleeding. Just be careful this cloth is rough and may stick or pull on nylon fabric. Smooth on the skin but not good with other fabrics. I wash mine by hand after each use and air dry.

I have not had it stain anything. I love it. It's the best sunscreen ever!!!

I really an't help you. Mine has never gotten wet lucily so I don't know if it bleeds or not. Sorry!

I usually wipe down with a Clorox wipe & it hasn't stained yet. It is leakproof & doesn't stain through cover, even on the quilted parts.

The boat cover we put it on was already heavily exposed to sun. So I am not sure, but as a water repellant it was fantastic. Our cover made it thru many storms.

I have light colored carpeting and brand new navy slipcovers, and I saw no damage. they do suggest that you test it somewhere where you can't see it, but I didn't bother. good luck, Susan! best, Pat

The case is aluminum which will corrode much sooner than the plain steel mounting bracket. they are both painted so they will probably outlast your boat. (even if your boat is stainless steel)

Don't know about your boat but my 20 foot bowrider cover fits perfectly. The major problem with the cover is it fits too perfectly and does no vent the moisture. After one winter and part of the summer the underside of the cover was totally covered with mildew which is too extensive to remove. Taylor should have provisions for venting.

Ive never never it on a boat cover, but everything ive used it on (pack, tent) has withstood extensive use in the Texas sun, which is quite intense in the summers, has held up and after only 1 use, no fading at all. I would assume that it would work well, might take a liberal coat though, also you might want to think about getting a couple bottles depending on the size of your boat

I'm sorry but I can't answer that. We haven't used the cover yet because we are keeping the boat dry stacked now. I'mSorry. Good luck

Absolutely! That's the main reason I bought it (along with all the other aluminum trim on our pontoon boat.) It does a really nice job, especially applied with a power buffer wheel. Good luck!

The color will hold very well. I did the inside of my aluminum jon boat and it still has great color with some pretty heavy use. There is not much gloss to it but I mixed with a flat paint. The bedliner was very easy to install with the supplied air gun. Overall a great product.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by stain, but it left a white haze on the plastic trim of my CR-V. It was easily taken care of with whatever product Meguiar makes for black plastic trim, but it looked bad for a while and I didn't have time to take care of it.

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!
