I'd also vote for the bleach. I have a hot tub, and when it is not in use, rain water gets in it. Mold forms on the bottom surface of the vinyl cover, literally black. Nothing takes it off. After a couple of weeks of chlorine gas after the tub is running, the spots disappear, and it's back to its regular color. You have to be patient, and keep it wet with a mild solution bleach.

I feel bad for your problems, but that was a really goofy place to store your boat.

I'm telling you I tried every suggestion posted here and then some. That is the only thing that worked. No seat damage at all. Rinsed them very well and then put a few coats of Frenzy vinyl conditioner on. Looks brand new.
