The only problem I've found with storing my boat cushions in my nice
dry basement is that it doesn't take long for my nice dry basement
to start smelling like my boat.


That was my experience last year. It was nice to open up that closet
and have those memories but it did make me wish the boat smelled
better.

I found a leak in a loose fuel sender at the top of the diesel tank
early in the season. No diesel smell this year. I also went down and
opened up the ports and skylights every day I could and was careful
about turning the cushions up and otherwise keeping everything aired
out. Spending a lot of nights on the boat at the dock also helped.

When I put the cushions in the closet last week, not a hint of boat
smell.


Wonder if a few sprays of Febreze might help?
