Default Stitching in Cockpit

New to the Fountain Family. I just moved up from a 212 Islander to a 27 Fever. I've got only few minor cosmetic issues, one of which is the stitching in the headrest of the two bolster seats has faded? Any success stories out there for re-coloring ? I called Fountain and they said to use a sharpie. My only hesitation would be when it gets wet again would it run?

Any help?

you can buy fabric markers @ wal-mart, won't bleed, take your time & it will look like new again, I have done this on my past 2 fountains & it works fantastic!

Thanks man.... Can't say I've ever been in the fabric section. And if they ask me what I'm using it for it might throw them for a loop.

Funny story, I was at a convention Monday - Wednesday and a vendor had some foam footballs. So I asked for two. He said you must either have two kids or two dogs. I said I have two dogs but they won't be touching these. These are to keep the birds from nesting in my boat. He looked at me perplexed. So I had to show him a picture of what I was talking about. I put them in the bilge blower exit vents when storing.....
