I know that the small cabin on my boat does.
It’s usually from mildew odors that originate in the bilge but somehow waft inside.
Or, sometimes a crewmember forgets a smelly jacket that quickly ripens.
It’s good to crack open a hatch or companionway to occasionally ventilate the interior (make sure there’s no rain in the forecast).
In addition, I like to use dryer sheets, such as those from Bounce (about $2 for a 34-sheet box).
I tuck a handful inside the cabin, and when I open the door after a few days, it smells fresh.
You can also use Meguiar’s Boat/RV Air Refreshers.
You set off these little aerosol bombs inside, then come back a few hours later to a sweet-smelling cabin.
The refreshers cost about $20 for a twin pack.
