Try a mr. clean magic eraser with a little diluted bleach. If seat is in cockpit, let sun get to it and it usually fades the stain as well.
My new to me boat had black spots on the pleather surface of the dinette. I tried an abrasive pad, soft scrub and a few other chemicals I was nervous to use. I feared I would have to re-upholster or do something else drastic.
I did buy a magic eraser as per the recommendations of this board but I thought it was "dried out" and missing chemicals(lost the directions). Before tossing it, I figured let me add some water to it (which I later found out is what you are supposed to do, they ship dry).
Man, oh man, you'd think I had an orgasm....the spots came out no problem. I used the one sponge cleaning the bolsters and the seats until the thing fell apart. Before the weekend, I'm going to purchase half a dozen or so...the magic eraser is truly amazing. I hope it helps with your problem.
Thanks Mr Clean and Mr Hall...a frustrating problem had a simple solution.

Mr. Hall?
Magic eraser works great for me, I always have a bunch on the boat. Seats, scuff marks, it even took off pole rub mark on fiberglass.
I find them to be great at home too. This marks on your nice white painted wall come right off. I used to go around with a paint brush and touch up paint, now I go around with an eraser.
They make other products too, the duo has a scrubbing abrasive pad attached to it, not a good thing around a boat, so I am not as crazy about this product. They just came out with one that has a cleaning agent built in too, but again, I think the original is the best for all around marks. Then there is the extra power model which is good for heavy scrubbing, like the scum line on your boat bottom.
