7 signs you shouldn’t ignore

Your boat canopy may still look fine.

But small warning signs often tell a different story. Before you end up dealing with mold, leaks, or a dull-looking canopy...

Go through this checklist.

1. Stains or dirt that won’t come off

Black streaks, green haze, or bird droppings?

If regular cleaning no longer works, the dirt is deep in the fibers. Time for a thorough cleaning.

2. Water absorbs into the fabric

Does rain no longer bead on the fabric surface?

Then the protective coating has worn off and moisture can penetrate.

3. Mold on the inside

A white haze or tiny black spots on the inside of the canopy?

That indicates mold growth from within.

4. Dull or faded color

Discoloration and loss of shine are signs of UV damage and wear.

Incorrect cleaning can also make the fabric dull.

5. Musty smell when opening the canopy

A musty odor indicates trapped moisture, mold, or bacteria.

You usually notice it as soon as you open the canopy.

6. Dirt sticks faster than before

Does dirt cling more easily than it used to?

The protective layer has disappeared, and the fabric becomes more sensitive to dirt and grime.

7. It’s been more than a year since the last maintenance

Even if the fabric looks fine, yearly maintenance is essential.

This prevents small problems from becoming bigger ones.

Recognize two or more of these signs?

Then it’s time to give your canopy proper maintenance.

Prevention is better than replacement.
