Hello,
Looking for some help on a few items for our 2016 AR 240. Figured this would be the place to start!:

1. Our clean out ports plugs are stuck/jammed. I was cleaning the boat and noticed water had pooled above the ports and went to remove the plugs but the are stuck. Any suggestions?

2. We have some sort of stain on the marine mat on our stern platform. Any have any tips on removing stains from this material? I'm not sure what type of stain it is.

Thanks!

Once you get those unstuck (check the FAQ section for tips on that) I would consider EZ locks from Cobra. Cheap insurance!

Many report good results cleaning the SeaDek/SeaMat with Simple Green.

Check out this FAQ for stuck plugs:

This FAQ for the rebuild kit:

As for cleaning the marine mat...no FAQ yet on that one! Perhaps this thread will become the reference for this! Cleaning FAQ is: https://jetboaters.net/faq/#faq-143

I assume you've tried the usual scrubbing with a brush and basic cleaner? Light power washing may work?
