Default Help! How do I get rid of this oder in my boat?

Ok, Here it is! Has anyone seen the episode of Jerry Seinfeld where
the parking valet gets in Jerry's car and leaves a body oder in the
car so bad that Jerry can't find anyway to get rid of the smell? He
finally has to get rid of the car! I don't want to do this with my
boat. I recently bought a 92 Chris Craft 302 Crowne. The boat had been
laid up for 2 years without any use. The boat was stored in the water
and was winterized properly by a reputable marina. The problem is a
lingering arm pit oder. I've tried "Damp Rid, Fabreze, Air wicks,
Bilge Pro Cleaner, Clorox Bleach with Lemeon scent, Lemon Scented
Lysol, RV Oder Absorber" The oder has diminished alot, but I still get
wiffs of the smell. Sometimes extremely strong.


Heres what I've tried:

1: All the upohlstery has been cleaned and sprayed with fabreze
2: Carpets have been shampoo'd
3:Bedding has been washed
4: matresses have been cleaned and sprayed with fabreze
5: Forward Bilge has been cleaned with Bilge Pro and Clorox Bleach
with Lemon (you can eat out of the bilge its so clean)
6: Shower has been cleaned with Lemon Lysol
7: Air conditioner drain pan has been cleaned with Clorox
8: Air conditioning intakes, vents, and ducts have been sprayed with
Lysol 9:Head has been treated with head treatment and with clorox
10:All surfaces have been wiped down with lysol
11rains have had clorox run through them

I have put the air fresheners in the boat, oder eliminators, and even
damp rid. Nothing seems to work. If I run the air the smell is less
but if the interior gets hot holy cow!

Any suggesstions?


When we have inherited beds, etc from smokers, my wife uses coffee grounds
and apple pieces somehow, can ask her and repost but she gets some of
these ideas from Haley's Hints, try googling it.
