Default Mold Prevention

I store my 28 formula at home and have it shrink wrapped every year.
3-4 years ago when I uncovered the boat in the spring I had mold everywhere on the white interior. Total bummer.

The next fall I tried setting up a fan in the boat on a timer for a couple of hours per day to circulate the air. I also had the Shrink wrap guy install a zipper door in the rear so I could access and monitor during the winter. (The door was about $25 extra but I simply cut it off every spring and he reinstalls it for free). Not a single spot of mold since thanks to the fan.

That said, when I do clean the interior, I have used "Outdoor Clorox Bleach" but I follow up with a thorough rinse and then protectant.
