Hello - I've recently bought a 1993 Boston Whaler Rage 14 - it's a beautiful boat, but I am having a problems with the seat cushions. When I remove the cover from the boat I have visible black spots on my cushions. They spots look like black algae and appears to coming from the inside out as if they were bleeding through the vinyl. It's not on the surface and mildew/algae removers do not work. My cushions are white with blue strips. The black spots are in the blue in all of the cushions and the white vinyl does not appear to be an issue with this problem. I've placed them in the sun and the first time the sun took care of the problem, but now the sun as no affect on the black spots. Short of getting new vinyl, foam, etc are there any suggestions out there? I've attached a picture for reference.

Thank you.

Can the foam insides be removed?

Treat with Vinegar and water.

Once clean, you need to keep the foam and vinyl dry.

OEM cushions are in a bag and then covered in vinyl for this reason.
