Shrink Wrapping Your Boat Can Create Mold, Mildew & Rust!

When it comes to moisture, boats sure get their fair share all year long. Boats are not only surrounded by water, they're also exposed to weather conditions and fluctuations in temperatures which can be a catalyst to irreversible damages.

During the boating season, most boats are docked at a seasonal marina. To protect marine vessels from environmental conditions, full bimini tops or customized canvas boat covers are snap on between uses.

If a vessel has a covered cabin area, then wet bodies and items such as beach towels, bathing suits and boating equipment bring additional moisture onto the boat.

When the boating season has come to a close, most marine craft are abruptly hauled out of the water and towed over to the marina for winter preparation often still damp from the summer fun.

The winterization process of marine vessels small and large typically includes a power wash, fluid changes, shrink wrapping and some type of seasonal storage inside barns, industrial buildings or outside in secured boatyards.

A major component to the winterization process of a boat includes poly wrapping. This specialized shrink wrap is used to protect the boat during the offseason. Wrapping a boat in weatherpoof polyethylene typically requires ventilation to offset potential moisture problems such as mold, mildew and corossion that develope over the months.  Unfortunately, ventilation alone always guarantee that these destructive forces won’t present themselves between then and now.  

Mold Loves Moisture

Shrink wrapping creates a versatile waterproof barrier that stands up to the environmental conditions, but anytime an object is wrapped with an impermeable poly barrier, it will sweat or create condensation and trap-in existing moisture. Just put your sandwich inside a zip-lock bag  and place it outside! This scenario creates the perfect breeding environment for mold, mildew and rust!
