Do not use Soft Scrub on the vinyl. All marine vinyl supposed has a UV coating or something along those lines that will end up getting stripped off. Same reason they say do not use Magic Eraser on marine vinyl. Try Spray Nine first and see where it gets you. Soft on the bristles if you use a brush.
Great boat. That was not cheap back in the day.

Agreed. The surface coatings will get destroyed by anything that’s even a mild abrasive. A few years back I used Westley’s Bleche Wite (now made by Black Magic) on an all white interior that had some deeply embedded staining. It came out amazingly. It’s safe for rubber and vinyl. Followed it with 303 Aerospace UV protectant.
Great boat, have fun with that project!

3M marine vinyl cleaner/ conditioner has worked well for me over the years. Getting harder to find locally.
Love the Cobalt. Was looking at a 323 recently.

I just had a crazy issue on my 246 Cobalt with the seats last season. They literally over night mildewed like they had been sitting for years. I tried Marine 31, bleach and water and another brand of a neighbor had and what worked best for me was the CLR mildew remover from Dollar General. I live pretty rural so we live off of Dollar General. I couldn't get the seats back to like new condition so Tank hooked me up with this. Seats turned out amazing and still holding up. My Cobalt is the same color. Your going to love that boat! Congratulations and pm me what you paid for it or post it. Ive got to know lol!!!!

Stored my boat for 2 years indoors with a loose fitting cover, no shrink wrap. Didn’t change the damp rid containers after year 1. When I took it out of storage, the seats, sunpad, even some interior fiberglass was full of mold. Tried everything but finally had no choice but to use a bleach spray. Everything came out amazing, just stay away from the stitching if possible. Even where I hit the stitching with bleach spray, no problems. Then used 303 protectant twice, everything turned out fine.

The Cobalt 263 is cleaning up nicely for a 20 year old boat! Wheeled out and shining, vinyl scrubbed and clean, cabin scrubbed and clean, etc. it’s time to start working on the motor!!
