Default Looks like mold or discoloration starting in little spot in cabin, what to do?

I think the anchor locker in bow got its drain plugged up and had water sitting in it for while, dark spots around the rim of the door. Couple little dark spots I just noticed on the headliner in the vberth too.

What should I clean/stop these with? Pouring out right now but going to vacuum out the anchor locker and try and find a drain or something in there and unclog it, Im sure they didnt leave it just a bucket to put a wet anchor away in

Vacuum out the last in the bottom and either find and unplug or drill out a hole. May find a tube that will need a drain snake put down it. On wood. Fiberglass and white vinyl or rug i wipe down with straight bleach.

If white, bleach. Test a spot that doesnt show for colorfastness.
