Bught an 03 Sea Ray 176 as a project to fix up over the winter. I got it cleaned up pretty well but there is some deep staining on a few seats and the grab handles and steering wheel.

I have tried a magic eraser, clr mold and mildew remover, bleach did the best but not all gone.

Any tips on how to get the remaining mold and mildew out?

With bleach not working, it may not be mold. Might be the fabric under the vinyl

Could look into vinyl paint to re coat it

Many times the foam under the vinyl is moldy.

Since vinyl and many soft surfaces only last 15 years, you may need to replace these surfaces
