Post subject:  Sticky Tramp
I have a blue vinyl tramp from from Hobie that has been on my boat for about 3 years. It recently became sticky all over. I didn't use any cleaner or anything else on it to cause this it just started to get sticky. I store it uncovered but I highly doubt that is the issue.

Anyone every had this happen to their tramp or heard of it happening to someone else? Any ideas how to fix it like a cleaner or other option?

Let the jokes flow ...

Yeah, I'd be looking up.

Any Tulip trees around? This year was bad for alphids in the mid-west. At times there was a fine mist of sap falling down.

Sticky Tramp, I wouldn't touch that with a 29 and a 1/2 foot pole.

Spray silicon lubricant works really well for getting sticky stuff off of just about anything that your worried about using something harsher on. Down side is your tramp will be a skating rink for a bit. Although it is fun to cram the tiller over and watch crew scramble to stay on the boat.

You could also try some really hot water with soap and a scrub brush.

Go to a RV dealer & get some awning cleaner.
