Re: Stus-List Transom cover to protect from sun
I’ve not thought of the canvas cover idea but I did have a local Seattle guy give me a quote to cover the entire transom with vinyl matching the hull color and with the name on top. I think I would have gone that route if we were not planning to sell SLY. The reverse shear transom sure takes a beating from the sun, even in the Northwest. Dave.

Re: Stus-List Transom cover to protect from sun
I have a transom ‘skirt’ (after all a boat is always referred to as a female) that covers the transom only using simple snaps around the stern pulpit. It took a few try’s by the canvas maker but it fits well, including slots for the ladder and back stay. I had decals with the boat’s name put on it. It has lasted for years and provides some protection from the NC sun, although there is some degradation still. Can’t confirm whether it has saved the gelcoat since it has been on since I awl gripped the boat. It’s a little bit of PITA to put on but with the name and some graphics I don’t think it detracts from the boat’s attractiveness at al.

If your gelcoat needs a coverup that lasts and takes a lot of abuse then awlgrip off white is good and what’s also important sometimes scars and scrapes can be touched up pretty good with International brightside off white you can hardly tell where the toich up is even pretty big patches. My boat had awlgrip when l got it in 2005. Needed some repair, more every year. Brightside and the hull looks damn good.

Re: Stus-List Transom cover to protect from sun
I think that would be ugly on your beautiful C 35 Even uglier than faded paint. If the transom is all that’s faded so far just redo it. I think you painted with awl craft not awlgrip a few years back. I have good experience with awlgrip and i really did not treat it well with wash or wax. I did not know the right way.

Stus-List Transom cover to protect from sun
The thread on paint was timely. I commented that I was beginning to see some fading on Touche's transom as it faces the sun in my Pensacola slip. Red seems to be particularly susceptible to fading. I just talked to my canvas maker about making a custom "transom cover". The cover would cover the rebuilt teak taffrail and the transom.
