Mold & Mildew on fabric in Cabin
Gould is right. I'm more curious how you developed such a severe mold
issue to begin with. We have a small (26') Carver fly bridge, and I
put a 12" 110V oclillating fan on the floor in the aft area of the
salon and let it run 24 X 7 during the summer months. It's cheaper
than letting the A/C run when we're gone. We've never had a problem.
Do you know why the issue developed?

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.
