Blacktip Mats

image.jpeg I removed my swim deck mats this morning on my 2009 AR230, it was about 50-53 degrees and they came up really easy. It left a few little nipples but I scrubbed those with an old ice scraper and cleaned it all up with Acetone, it was pretty easy. I did have one of the little corner mats glued down with silicone, I used an eraser thing for my drill to get that up.

@Backwash had a lot of problems with his Black Tip mats coming unglued. They were often pulling up.

@Wayloncle, yours look like Seadek which is a way better product.

Yes mine is Seadek, I just had the opportunity to post a pic of it so I did:-)
I just installed the swim deck this morning, I'll do the cockpit next week.
 
I've had my black tip mats on my boat for 3 seasons. Awesome product, never had an issue with them coming up. Not even close.
