Default Mildew on the boat

Hey ****head. You pollute the group with your crap and then expect advice.
Guess what, most boaters quit reading this group because of ****heads like
you.

My family complains the sailboat interior smells of mold although all
I smell is diesel. So, I have embarked on a program to minimize any
mold problem. I fixed a leaking bolt that held the traveller track
down. Took off all cushions and am trying to sorta clean em.
Unfortunately, they are very old and I really cannot get them unzipped
without ruining them so truly cleaning them is out of the question. I
did spray them with Lysol and am allowing them to dry. I wiped most
of the boat interior with clorox. Part of the boat interior has a
kind of crapet (I meant carpet but crapet is more in line with what I
think of this type of covering) that I intend to soak with Lysol and
then clean with wet shop vac. I put in three Damp-Rid containers
too. Any other ideas?

Quite frankly, I cannot smell the mold myself. So, I plan to make a
very visible effort to eliminate the invisible mold. If it works, my
family goes sailing more with me. If it does NOT work, I win too
because I like sailing alone.


The product you want is called Pure Ayre.

It is very effective.

That's Harry Krause for you, telling someone to commit arson.

The last sailboat i crewed on had an unpleasant odour down below...I now
believe it may have *been* the *hose* that carries the waste from the head
to the
*thru-hull*.
I've heard someone (maybe Peggy H) recommend taking a clean cloth and
wiping
the hose exterior. Put it to your nose...... if it smells like Dingy Dan
replace before the season starts.


What's a "tru-hull"?

Swallowing your own medicine's kind of bitter, isn't it?

Ummmm, that's called a THRU-hull, speller boy.
