Plenty of ventilation. I keep my MaXum under plastic tarps on the
trailer year round while not in use. The tarps are arranged with open
areas at the bow and stern. Under the tarps, I keep the deck hatches
open about an inch, and leave the portholes cracked with the inner
screens in place on all. Here in rainy Seattle, mold/mildew is
practically non-existant. Even so, some mold/mildew is likely on
surfaces that have some organic material, such as hand prints, over the
galley, in the fridge, head, etc. Careful cleaning in these areas before
storage is recommended.

I will be leaving my Sea Ray 185 parked in my driveway this winter (we're
about 50 to 60 miles north of San Francisco.

What do I need to do to keep it from developing a mold and mildew problem
over the winter?

The boat has snap-in carpet and a boat cover. It will get very little use
during the winter, but might see a day or two on the water.

Any tips for my first winter with a boat will be appreciated.
