I try and keep Coquina smelling as nice as possible for an old boat. My mother had a mold infestation and I bought her an industrial strength ozone generator to get rid of it. It worked – mold is gone ☺ I got an idea and put it on the boat and set it for 2 hours. I opened all the lockers so the ozone had free access to things like the head hoses. It worked GREAT. As a matter of fact it worked so well I just about ozoned myself to death the next day going below. You can get these generators on Amazon for pretty cheap. When you read the label about not using it in an occupied area they are not kidding!

However, there was definitely boat funk stunk right into them. We removed all the covers and washed in the laundry with a bit of bleach then air dried. I also took the foam home a few at a time and soaked them in a bleach solution (a few percent, not too strong) in a kids wading pool out in the driveway. Those foam cushions sure hold a lot of water!They took days or even weeks to dry but the stink is gone. I like to think that the cushions are now "reconditioned". Just washing the covers made a big difference. Getting the buttons back in through the cushions is another project for another time :) Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
