I have a new 2021 255XD that I got this past August. Already have over 50 hours on it. It is stored in a boatel and meticulously cleaned after each outing. This includes washing down the entire boat (inside and outside), drying the boat, flushing the engines with Salt Away, etc.
I was out on the boat yesterday and while sitting in the bow seating, I noticed the rust on the backside of the steering wheel. This seems odd to me - both with the boat being so new, and the cleaning regimen mentioned above. There is also zero rust anywhere else on the boat that I can see/find - not even any of the snaps/hinges. I went looking after noticing this.
Question 1 - anyone else have this problem?
Question 2 - anyone have any recommendations on a way to remove it and protect the back of the steering wheel to try to keep this from happening again?
When I cleaned the boat yesterday, I soaped it really well, and tried to remove it, but only had a wash mitt and towel - so that didn't do much to get it off...
