Mold & Mildew Prevention

Boat Mold & Mildew Prevention: Dry and Clean for the Season

Boats and moisture go hand in hand, which can lead to unwanted mold and mildew building up in areas on your boat. Protecting these areas is important to prevent having to repair or even replace parts, including your upholstery, boat covers, and Bimini tops. 

To reduce mold and mildew damage, prevention is key. It is good practice to thoroughly clean and dry out your boat before it is put away for the season. It is important that you don't leave wet products such as fenders or towels on board during the off season.

Wholesale Marine carries an extensive line of boat mold prevention and boat mildew removal products for the leading brands like Starbrite and Davis Instruments. From start to finish

Circulate the air to prevent mold problems

Dehumidifiers heat damp air until the moisture is held in suspension (above dew point). As warmed air rises, cooler damp air is drawn in, where it too is heated, until all moisture is safely wicked away. It is then released through the top vents of the device. Dehumidifiers are perfect for controlling moisture in your home, damp basements, or any indoor air space.

The Davis Air Dryr Marine Dehumidifier can be placed in any area and is excellent at preventing mold growing. Just plugin and the machine heats the damp area until all the excess moisture is wicked away.
