Thank you, I have been having a mold problem on my ChrisCraft... Will give
these ideas a try and get back to you.

If the bleach didn't change the color almost right away, you're going to
be OK
with it.

The bleach may weaken the threads.

A concentrated saline solution will kill certain types of fungus, and you
can
mix it up right in the galley with table salt and water. Dipping sal****er
out
of the drink is less likely to be a good solution- it could easiy have oil
other dirty elements if you're dipping in a marina.

If all else fails, bleach usually works.

Your complete cure will involve discovering why you have such a damp
environment aboard. You can try all sorts of tricks with dessicants, heat
tubes, etc etc etc but the botom line is that you need to get some fresh
air in
there and move it around to dry things out. Bigger vents, maybe a few of
them
active rather than passive, might help. If your locker doors aren't
louvered,
try leaving them slightly ajar when you go ashore. You'll need to prop
them
open, or they will self close when the boat rocks.
