Boat question
It's time to pull the boat out of the water, bring it home for a few days, and do the spring cleaning. As always, being covered and used sparingly over the winter has left the seats with a little mildew.
Question: Does anyone have good experience with any product that will actually prevent or reduce the occurance of mold and mildew on vinyl? |

Have you thought about or tried using a 12V fan hooked to a small Northern Tool or some such solar charger so that you circulate dry air? I've almost always pulled all the cushions, curtains, mattresses, et cetera, out of boats being covered and stored for the winter. I clean them off and store them in the dry basement storage room. The one time I stored a boat with upholstery left in it over the winter, the dreaded mildew appeared. Clorox removed the mildew but it turned some of the upholstery a pinkish shade. |

You have to leave your topside exposed for a month, or so, and cover it later. It will keep working for several months before you need to re-apply it. http://wetandforget.com/product_wet_...t_outdoor.html This works well for a quick clean but it is tougher on the fabric and stitching: http://www.basspro.com/Star-Brite-Mi...product/39753/ |

What boat(s), Krausie? The imaginary Zimerman lobster boat, the imaginary Hatteras, the imaginary e-tech powered boat, the imaginary dingy that your father crossed in the Atlantic in? Pray tell, what boat(s)? |
