At least when you go to remove it down the road just saturate it with water and it should pull right up .Must of been a latex based glue a true water proof outdoor glue would of never done that its solvent based.

Update: After a weekend with Lots of water and rain in the boat.... The Marine Vinyl Carpet Adhesive did NOT hold up well. In the places where it stayed wet for a day, it was liquid again, and the carpet just lifts up. The 3M super 77 is not harmed by the water. I think the Carpet adhesive will dry again, but its defiantly not very waterproof. I would recomend just using 3M to anyone.

Go to your local floor covering store and ask for some safety solvent or in store get some goof off to get the glue off carpet.sorry i didnt see this sooner but was working nonstop for awhile glad you have it done but ill feel your pain when you go to pull that up ha ha ha it sucks

Ha, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I already did the Install a few days ago. Your advice is Right on. I used 3M super 77 on the complicated parts, like the hot foot pad, and the front dip, gas tank holder, etc... Worked Great. Absolutely Great.

Then used the Vinyl Marine Carpet Adhesive on the main floor. The Trowel was hard to use. I found a big paint brush spread it well, then I used the trowel to give the texture. This was the thick stuff. It was a pain, and was hard to use. I suppose if its more waterproof than the super 77 it will be worth it, but it was a big pain.

It is supposedly water cleanup while wet, but it really didn't come up. You get a tiny spot on the carpet, and if you try to wipe it off with warm water, it doesn't work. Just digs in deeper.

Also, in two or three small spots, the glue came up through a hole in the rubber and made little spots on the carpet.

I used Super 77 on all the edges and it held them up great. Going up the sides, the carpet did hold on the carpet adhesive, but it didn't hold tight. It didn't hold the Corners in good like the super 77. I found the Combo worked well. Super 77 on all corners and bends, and the Carpet adhesive on the flat spots. Although the entire time I was wondering why I dont just use Super 77 for the entire thing. I guess my thought is that the Carpet adhesive will hold up better. But who knows. In two years Ill pull at it and update as to which holds up better.

Great advice with the Sharp razor blade. Someone else had mentioned this, but I didn't realize the importance. So to clarify for others, If its not super sharp, it causes the edges to Fray, and fibers start pulling out. I have a pretty nasty seam because of this. You need to change razor blades after every 12 inches of cut you make. Seriously.

Anyways, it looks pretty good, minus one seam where some fibers pulled out. I will try to get the spots of adhesive off the carpet now that its dried. I think it will be easy cuz its just sitting at the top.

My end thoughts are that the Rubber backed carpet sits really good on its own. Im not sure some crazy glue was really all that needed. If the 3M hold up, its the way to go. It doesn't say its waterproof, but I did glue a piece of carpet to a chunk of 2X4 and then let it dry, then dropped it in a bucket of water. I took it out after a few days and it held strong. I think just getting old will break it down faster than the adhesive, but we will see.

Also, I think you might have a point with spot gluing being sufficient. I dont think it needs as much glue as one might think.

Ill post pics in a bit.

Just caught this thread , being a floor covering installer,owner I wouldnt advise putting rubberback carpet in the full spread glue, spot gluing work be sufficient and less of a pain when you go to replace in the future.Personally i would use spray contact glue randomly i piece from stearn to stepdown 1 piece step down to bow remove hotfoot carpet under then reset hotfoot these rubber backed carpets dont seam that great keep changing blades on your knife want it sharp at all times they make a tool called a stair tool blunt edged big bladed for creasing the carpet into corners and for trimming to the edges . If you ever have pulled up rubber back from a house its a pain in the kester if its glued and boat carpet takes a beating just my .02 worth good luck

You can practice with paper or an old piece of carpet then use as a template.
Not alot of interior photos so be sure to post some.

No, I understand. Mine is a bit different though. Maybee easier in the long run. Im just gonna have to trial and error it. Ill post pics when its in. Thanks for the help.

I believe the front floor piece of carpet and throttle pad was done with one piece. I'm trying to explain how he did it but it's difficult.

The carpet was cut at the pad corners and folded up the two sides onto the top. Obviously it was short to the footrest but a scrap was glued in. On the side to side portion, it was cut in the middle. This left an uncovered middle strip that would be directly under the throttle pedal. My throttle pad ties into the footrest so there is no front edge.. You could just cut a square out of the carpet in the pad area and lay it in around the pad. A second piece can cover the pad.

I hope I havent totally confused you.
