Replacing Softgrip

Recommended Posts

The soft grip on my 2016 LSV23 is a bit tired and worn.  I’m thinking about replacing.   Has anyone done this and any suggestions?  Easy to do?

Soft Grip?  Are you talking about the pad on your swim platform?  Which should be EVA Foam and on a 2016 that should be SeaDek is what I think Malibu is contracted with.  If you do some searching on here, you will find (including me) have removed the old Foam pad and replaced with a new one from GatorStep or SeaDek.

Good call on checking the warranty.   I always thought this was called soft grip.  Is Sea Dek just the commercial name?  Along those lines, anyone have any thoughts on Sea Dek v GatorStep?

From everything I have researched people seem to say GS holds up better than SD but I have no experience myself and Nautique uses SD so that says something.
