Wow.  I have to believe there is something else going on.  I've sold and 
installed hundreds of Mako Saddles and have never heard of this.  The piece 
which has "Yakima" on it is pretty soft rubber.  It's hard to imagine that 
it would actually imbed into gelcoat.  This seems to me a gel coat issue 
rather than a Mako issue.  It's hard to imagine what that gel coat would do 
if something with substance actually hit it!  Sorry to hear it and good luck.
