Does anyone know how much the Axis wakeboard/surf board racks cost from the dealer?

I have the same problem on the sun pads over lockers and engine (2011 Axis Vandall blk/blk pg4 one owner).... what I understand is that its a glue problem. Mine looks like someone spilled a gallon of pinkish/brown koolaid all over. The fix as I understand it is to keep cool. Mine sat inside for the first two years so I had no problem. I have tried lots of things(propping up cover/ white towels etc..) but to no avail. Embarrassing at times on cloudy day...doesn't go away quickly. When it first happened I cleaned it for hours and cussed quite a bit..........all I accomplished was sweating alot. Waiting for the day the sun doesn't make it go away............

I have the same sun pad issue. Read here it was mildew but didn't make sense because it only shows up in the hot sun. I tried running my cover through the commercial washer and it still happened. Wish someone would come up with a solution, my boat stays outside when it's nice out.

I was told the problem with your vinyl turning purple/brown is from the heat buildup/contact with the cover. It draws out the glue/impurities in the seats to the surface of the vinyl and discolors them. The sunlight will pull it out over time but it sucks. I used to have the same issues with my vlx. My 14' axis came with a grey cover to remedy this problem. So far, so good

I have that same problem on mine, and mine sits in the garage with the cover on to keep the dust down. What I did is take hydrogen peroxide (3%) rub it on the seats where the stains are and set the cushions in the sun for 2 days. So far so good, we'll see if it re-stains but its been 2 weeks with no more pink stain! I was concerned about the peroxide damaging the stitching, so I made sure to not get any peroxide on the stitching.
