Author	Topic:   Waterproofing Whaler Bow Cushions
Eagleman	posted 12-10-2002 12:33 PM ET (US)         The vinyl upholstered bow cushions of a friends 1992 19' Outrage absorb water through the original clear cushion wrapping. This original wrapping appears to be done in an attempt to seal out water from entering the actual cushions foam. Good idea on paper but no longer effective. Water that Im referring gets into the cushion's as a result of daily boating/swimming activities. Any good idea's to address the water absorbing problem with bow cushions.Cushions are removed and stored out of the weather when not in use. Thanks-Eagleman
