If one keeps the boat in the warm humid southern regions, odors, mildew, musty smells are the norm. Unless one is really aggressive about fighting it.


Would totally agree with Peggy, cleanliness is the first line of defense. And, as others have mentioned, air flow and dehumidification is a second.


Also, cleaning is constant. I find myself wiping down even the simple things, like the counter, sides, furniture, etc., etc..... all the time.



I've also found that a dehumidifier works wonders..... even a small one, if the cabin is reasonably sealed. And if one had the dehumidifier feature on the AC unit, great. And even running the AC helps. Ya still want a bit of airflow, but often that outside air is 80% saturated.


It's just part of a boaters life.
