I opened my access doors on the back of my boat to get to batteries, bilge, oil res. etc, and found mold on everything. Plastic, rubber, cloth, fiberglass, carpet, everything. Inspected further tward the front of the boat, and found more in all of the compartments. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this, and how it happened.
I think that the seals on all of my hatches are verytight.
When I washed the boat last, I may not have let the boat dry out enough. With this little bit of moisture left, It may have created a mold problem?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
