try oxyclean it works great, I have a problem with my white seats if I don't remove them mildew builds up underneath them, I try to keep them as dry as possible,now you can't remove the hatch maybe open it and let drain and get some air to dry it out, or towel off, just my 2 cents

Depending on bad it is you may be able to use plain old rubbing alcohol. I have used this as well as store bought products.

For those of us in snow country, maybe an article on storage techniques would be in order not only for winter lay-up, but summer use as well. I store my boats in a gravel floor building here in Iowa. My boats are all on trailers, so that will be different than others who leave them in the water or on hoists or boat houses. I leave the hatches slightly open, the seat cushions I leave off so the boat will ventilate and drain plug out. I make sure that the bilge area is dry as well. When I do put them away for winter layup, I do the same, but I also have breathable storage covers and that makes a difference for air transfer. My .02 worth.

Formula Jr. I don't think Sam caught your comment. However, it sure got a chuckle from me.
