    Blood Stains

    Apparently I have had a bird (probably a hawk) disembow another bird on my flybridge and leave blood and guts stains on the non-skid. I washed with soap and water but it didn't remove all of the stains. Do any of you "convertible/sports fishing" guys have a remedy as I'm sure that you get fish blood stains occasionally? Thanks in advance.

    The sun will probably bleach that stain out in a couple of weeks. I would wait and see if it goes away on it's own before trying any of the the other methods.

    Bleach. Mix with boat soap and elbow grease.

    Also "Wink" used for rust stains may work.

    Bleach eats wax...At least in my experiences. The blood will disappear, though.

    We have removed blood stains from fish on the non skid with straight Simple Green and a scrub brush. Let it sit for a couple of minutes then scrub, then rinse. Good Luck.....

    Re: Blood Stains

    When I purchased my boat 6 maybe more starlings were trying to live in it. 6 were dead inside the boat but not before they dumped on everything. I washed every thing with Mean Green. It just wiped right off. Most of the other cleaners would not touch it. Spider droppings just dissolve and wipe up. Simple green won't touch it.
