Hi,
We just bought a 33ft Carver Mariner and I have some questions regarding the shrink wrapping of the boat over the winter. I am concerned about moisture that could be left in carpeting, upholstery etc and the wrapping it up and causing mold over the winter. Is this an issue or am I just being paranoid??? The previous owner didn't cover it at all.

Re: Shrink wrapping
They usually install some vents in the plastic.
Make sure they block the bow up and the drain plug is out.
Everything should be ok.

Re: Shrink wrapping
Besides venting,there are a couple of products out there that collect moisture.There are mildew bags and buckets,etc.Check your marine store and they can guide you.
