they don't make a dent.

Help!!

Sounds like "bunny fur" material.

Might as well pull it down, find and fix whatever leak is creating the
moisture.
You can spend all summer scrubbing that thing, but everytime it rains
(what? in Seattle?) or you wash the boat the mold problem will kick in
again.

My advice would be to eliminate the source of the mold, and then
replace the material. A lot less frustrating than trying to keep up
with a bottle of bleach and a brush.

The bunny fur is probably glued directly to the laminate. Look for a
good spot to make a straight cut when you're removing the old stuff.
When you replace the bunny fur, you can add a teak or even a platic
batten to cover the seam between the new and the old material. You can
add a second batten on the opposite side and the whole works will look
like it was built that way, rather than patched.
