Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Help, remove the smell of decomp from my boat?

Actually grand daughter. grins

I think I prefer the the smell of dead cat to dead carp. grin again

Prob wouldn’t help w bio-organic funk, but I’ve used straight Mexican Vanilla liquid to clean out live well/bait well that was left w swimmers by my son. Cleaned it w Purple Power and drained a couple of times. Rinsed and dried overnight. Soaked a thick terry cloth towel and scrubbed each and left towels in place for about 3 days. It worked.

Purple Power. I will keep it in mind if needed.

Keep in mind that stuff can remove paint.

Then it would probably remove the glue holding the carpet in place.

Good to know if it becomes necessary to paint the plywood and recarpet.

Guess no one will listen to the guy who has been doing this for 45 years...

When I get foul smells in my boat, I always go with the "deep cleaning" method. Have to have a back ho too.

Spray it with Sex Panther Cologne.

Sex Panther is a cologne which is illegal in 9 countries. It is also made from bits of real panthers, so you know its good.

60% of the time, it works every time.

Link? :-)

Replace the floorboard.

put it on Craigs list and let people take tast rides until the smell goes away...

you know wat dey tay about ded putty tats?
dey's good putty tats.

Roger, I listened. I figured if anyone knew about this stuff it would be you.

I used what I had on hand. And am glad of the advice if what I have done proves inadequate.

At this point, 30 hours after the last cleaning, I think it is going to be okay.

As I walked up to the boat, I thought I detected the faintest whiff of an odor. But I can smell nothing coming directly from the affected area of the floor.

One might guess that the carpet over the rest of the floor and interior side walls, as well as the cloth top on the boat may be retaining a hint of residual odor from indirect exposure.

I think that will go away over another week or two of 15 hour days of direct unfiltered sunlight and 100 plus degree heat.

I did not have Microban, but I used a butt load of Lysol.

Cool, it doesn't hurt to have microban around it's good for a lot of things when it comes to cleaning.

It's on the list for the next trip to the city.

Sink it.
