MDDW suggested using Clorox to remove some mold from inside the cuddy on my
boat. Worked like a charm. Suggest putting some on a rag, wiping the mold,
let
sit a minute, then wipe off with wet rag. If it doesn't work, you've lost
nothing but the colors in your first rag!

CAREFUL! Bleach can tear livin' hell out of
deck caulk. Causes it to shrink and lose elasticity sometimes. I'd try
something else first, or be prepared to recaulk.

By the way, the thingie that hauls your rode when you press the button (when
referring to the entire gizmo) is a windlass.
That term is easy to remember, because if you didn't have one you'd post your
wife or girlfriend on the foredeck with a big empty spool and when it was time
to haul the rode you'd order her to, "wind, lass!"

If you have a portion of it with cogged teeth to haul chain, that cogged wheel
is properly referred to as a gypsy.
