Generally on this forum asking engine advice, This is a twist for me . MILDEW SMELL
Boat was laid up months for new engines
Boat on a trailer tilted up as high as possible, drain plug removed
Kept outside Canvas cover from windshield over transom
Entire bow from windshield forward was not covered
Boat is a 2860 Regal Commodore .
Combination leather & cloth
All cushions have zippers and upon inspection of foam noticed it was covered by a layer of clear plastic ( like slip covers )
Did not remove , but will if I must and dry clean, but assuming foam is dry .
Entire cabin ceiling is vinyl
Aft cabin has a tight woven marine grade carpet on walls & ceiling
Marine grade carpet main walk area
Boat was 125 miles from me during engine repairs, distance made it difficult too check and maintain boat. .
On one of my visits too engine shop , I went into cabin and I did smell a mildew smell , but never dealing with mold or mildew I shrugged it off thinking I will clean it along with a good detailing of boat upon return. I put 2 canisters of damp rid in cabin
Months of daily Florida rains, HOT cabin, Irma rains, Breeding grounds for mold & mildew
Engines completed . Launched last week . New long blocks. Runs great
4 family members helped with outside detailing and cabin detailing
WOW was surprised too see mold damage
Smell that has not gone away after hours of cabin detailing, mold cleaners, Mold killing chemicals, over the counter items . Freebreze , Star brite , etc
I7 Drenched beach towels in a cabinet that had mold growing on towels and that grew onto the cabinet wall, so I must find were the leak is . But first I must
correct this raunchy smell ,
Wife & I sleep aboard 2 days of every week and she has breathing issues , I must get this done properly
Yesterday we went out, she did not go into cabin. She sat on deck and complained that she was able too smell a mildew smell coming from cabin on deck
I must get rid of this mildew smell . Any over the counter chemical or should I CALL THE GUY ?
Thanks as usual
