Parker cabin floor, slippery - The Hull Truth

On my Parker 2520XL I have found the cabin floor very slippery when wet . I have tried a rubber bathtub mat. Keeping in mind that it must be removable to clean, any other ideas out there? The area in question is as you step into the cabin from the rear deck. If your feet are wet it is very slippery.

Non slip tape.

I bought Dri-Dek at boaters world, it comes in 1' sections that snap together and comes out as one piece for easy cleaning, I cut mine to fit snug between the front and rear of the pilothouse. it stands off the floor so no mildew will grow under it and it comes in a tan color.

Hmm, never thought my cabin floor was slick. I've probably jinxed myself now.

Something to consider is when we enter the cabin at the beginning of each trip we take an old towel and place it at the entrance over the bottom of the door frame and it serves a few purposes. Keeps slick floor issues like you said down to a minimum. Keeps the cuddy floor much cleaner than normal. Makes you slow down entering the cabin area. You have a towel around for quick work. I agree that you need a slid pad or something but this works very well.
