Is there anything I can do about the overpowering smell of swamp water and
feet that hits me every time I take off the cockpit cover on my kayak?

Maybe wash your feet? ;-)

It's usually not the kayak but the occupant of said kayak that smells
like feet! :-)

Perhaps a mild soap solution... course that'll probably give you a soapy
smell... do you clean it out? Maybe if you have a pool session near you
swamp it for a bit in the clorine...

And once you get it clean, leave the cover off until it's dry.

Put it on the roof of your car rightside up, dump about 5 gallons of
water and some biodegradable soap in it, put the spray cover over the
cockpit, and drive it around for a week or so*. Then go to a carwash,
dump it out, and rinse it with the high-pressure spray (don't blow
your padding and bracing off).

If that fails, put a car freshener inside. :-)

and braking. Experiment first.
