SCFD rtrd. Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm keeping my boat on my lift and it takes a beating from the sun. I want to have a full cover made, but I'm concerned about mildew on the seats. Most of the other boat owners at our condo have mildew problems related to boat covers. I'm not really concerned about rain water getting in. Is there a material that will cut the sun but will not cause mildew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have used these vents for a number of years with success. I put large tennis balls under the hatch lids to prop them up and allow for circulation. My boat is on a drive on floating dock so it is close to the water. http://www.taylormadeproducts.com/cgi-bin/catalog.pl?item_id=136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert3 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have a full cover for my HPS . Sunbrella, full cover with 4 vents drapes down beneath any color on the boat.. was great on my black boat, just as good on the gray one too. Made in Fort myers. No mildew for 8 summers.. God luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Robert3, did you use the same vents as mdemott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert3 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey, Yes, those are the vents. As long there is a way to get air in it seems as if they really work.. I have an open area near the transom where the breeze get in.. Really helped alot with Gelcoat fading.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
