Cockpit Deck Non-Skid Re-Do DIY Tutorial

[Brent]

Great job Dale

I agree with Dale and Megabyte on using diluted bleach and allow the solution stand for 20 -30 minutes before removing. Several applications will be necessary due to biofilm formation. Adding an ounce of vinegar (acetic acid) to the bleach solution will help kill off the mold.
As mention here several times, improve ventilation is important to control the mold and having a long lasting deck

Great idea.

Put a vent in each of the 4 corners of the 'pit (with bug screens on the pipe) and you should be good to go!

I use a small fan in the bilge and just crack the two rear compartments and the inspection hatch in the cabin. I get good ventilation and no mods. The fan also blows on the battery charger keeping it cool. The rear hatches are overlapping so no water gets in unless we get a hard driving rain. Same results but no real mods and also keeps moisture down in the cabin.
