I guess your boat is trailerable?

I have done this in the past (other more suitable product - silicone
sprays are awful to get on anything one cares about, especially where
long-term visual clarity is an issue, are impossible to remove from
plastics, and often cause degradation themselves; I would like to see
people who put them on things they sell mildly tortured; Pam is
vegoilarrgghh).

Hi,

Try taping over part of one of them with foil tape, and part of
another with foil taped loosely at the edges. This will give some idea
of whether it's related to light or some reaction with the air.

If it's UV degradation then you might be able to get a clear coating
that blocks UV.

cheers,
Pete.
