how to dry waterlogged upholstery seats

[jarpunna]

Hi quick question. I have a signature 492f and the two foam seats have become waterlogged from fishing in wet conditions. Even when the boat has been sitting dry for a while if u sit on them you end up with a wet bum! They are really comfortable so i hope theres a solution besides replacing them which Im sure will b costly. Thanks in advance.

My rear bench seat on my Signature 530C got very waterlogged once to the point I could hardly lift it out of the boat. I ended up drilling 12mm holes across the ply base. I then sat it on some saw horses. It dried in about 2 days.

Just let them dry out in the sun.

Try and balance it on a corner, all the water will run to the lowest point and out thru the stitch holes

Thanks! I'll try take them out leave them leaning to one side in the sun. If it doesn't work then I'll try drilling a few holes.
Thanks for ur advise☺
