Default How to get rid of boat odor

Standard boat odor. Not diesel, not bilge rot, etc. Just 25 years of
"stuff". No perfume or ozone answers need apply.



Among the best:

Keep in mind, though, that much of that old boat odor comes from mold and
fungi. Before you do anything else you must clean out every locker. Air out,
wash, wipe with bleach solution the contents and the surfaces. In places you
can't get to such as the inside surfaces of hull liners and the like you
might have to saw inspection ports that can be covered with teak or metal
grates so you can keep the inside surfaces free of mold and mildew.

Odorxit is great for odors that have seeped into surfaces. It even
neutralizes dog and cat **** and skunk spray which is some potent stuff.
