Boat odors and mildew
 

What works best on boat odors and mildew in side the boat

For about 80 bucks, west marine has this flying saucer looking thing that runs on 110...... .2a draw and silent as can be.....and it works

get a can of coffee and pour half out and put it in the cabin. The beans will absorb the odor.

spray the whole inside down with fabreeze and leave it for a week buttoned up tight, then add a can of half empty coffee

Whats with the coffee thing?

The ground up beans absorb any and all odors. A guy who detailed my cars told me about it. I took a Folgers can dumped half out and put it in a stinky pet urine travel trailer. A week later you couldn't tell it ever had a pet in it. We also steam cleaned it, but the coffee ate up the odor.

not instant coffee then . Just had to do it

Leave a bucket of charcoal inside when it is covered up. Cheep and it works great.

Do you have a product name?

There is also Kanberra Gel, another tea tree oil product. We've been using it whenever we close up the boats for several years now.

Mildew is mold. Basically keep things clean, dry and warm.

Ozone machine. Kill the source, don't cover it up.

I have a terrible time with moisture, water, mold, etc. The more I cover up the boat in the winter, the worse it is. The one time I paid to shrink wrap it was the worst ever. Looked like someone threw green paint all over inside the cabin. Indoor heated storage and leave everything opn is the ultimate but pricey. I am outdoors and have never figured out any solution.

Ive heard of putting in an opened bag charcoal will keep out moisture and mildew... havent tried it though, so couldnt say if it works or not. I rented indoor storage this winter, worth every penny.

Wash everything and then put in a Dehumidifier plus a fan.

Yup, get the boat clean and dry prior to covering it for storage.

I got a problem with this......

Non paying member advertising?

I am VIP because I support the site at the highest level without any ulterior motive.

Pay to play....I'd buy. But free.."no way"

I need all the advice i can get with this issue. Please send me more information. I don't care if it is a retailer.

I've had no trouble after putting out three big DampRid buckets before covering in the winter. Prop open all of your storage areas, open the cabin door and put a bucket in the cabin, cockpit, and engine room. Buy it at Home Depot or Lowe's.

DampRid to keep the humidity down. KanberraGel to kill/control mold spores. Open it up and air it out whenever the winter weather permits.

Thanks for all the info we are going to try the Yacht Fresh

Several of us use these in our cruisers during winter. Our boats are either in the water or on lifts, but still on the water in our slips. I open every compartment, nook, and cranny so nothing is closed up. This item has a small fan that circulates air, at a very small amount, over a small heating element. They run nonstop Nov1 thru mid April. Boats are as fresh as the day we leave them. Any amount of air circulation is the key.

We have been using the Yacht fresh now for a few months it works great. A couple of my buddy’s are also using it in there classic cars. Get that musky smell out.
I highly recommend it.
