weird goo in my cooler and wanna get rid of black stuff on seam sealer??.?

[Killertiller]

So last nite I go in my cooler and there was a baseball size clump of clear like goo, Nasty n slimy . I cleaned it all out n hose it out n notice what ever it is seem to be coming from the drain. I put a hose in drain to clear it out. The drain works real slow not sure if that normal. Second thing I wanna do is get the black mold or what ever it is off the seam sealer. Is there a cleaner or so I have to re seam seal it?

Use Spray Nine it will clean it right up. Spay it on let it soak then rub with sponge and rinse.

Wal-Mart has a vinyl cleaner made by Atwood that did a great job of removing mold stains in my vinyl seat covers. Spay-Nine works well also, it smells just like 409 spray cleaner and I think that's what it is but not quite as strong as 409.

Marine spray9 is not made by the same manufacturer as 409. and the spray9 works a lot better! I purchase it by the gallon @ 19.99 each.

You don't agree spray nine smells just like 409 just weaker? I don't think anyone claimed it's manufactured by the same company, but it sure smells like the same stuff to me.

I've used all three products successfully, to remove mildew stains from vinyl, the Atwood product may be my favorite and I didn't notice much if any difference between spray nine and 409.

And, I think I'm going to begin using baby oil to keep the vinyl from drying out.

hmmm, I cannot. The 409 has more of an industrial cleaner type smell to it... it has a blue hue, while the spray9 smells medicinal (household) and has a diluted yellow hue to it.
AERO 303 works very good on the vinyl for protection.

Well It didn't touch the black mold. Its the seam sealer that runs under gauges n down side to floor to the drain... if ya know what I mean. I also tried soft scrub bleach. Its like it dyed the seam sealer black all over the seem. I figuring gotta re seam seal it. I just like to go over with fresh sealer. I dont wanna start digging it out.. its very thin bead. But that stuff worked great on inner hull. Mine was black along with everything in floor storage. I cleaned it to like new lookn

well if your talking about any type of silicone caulk or sealer, there isn`t much to get mold out of the caulk. maybe bleach, but doubtful...

I was thinking the same thing but wanted to see if your results would be better than mine but I've not ever had much success getting mold stains out of silicone caulk either. I've been thinking about trying lawn and garden fungicide but haven't gotten to try it yet.

The bathroom remodeling guys may have some ideas but I think the normal solution is just digging it all out and replacing it, I would consider replacing it with 5200 polyurethane marine sealer if were to go through the trouble although 5200 is tough stuff and permanent so it's impossible to remove but I've never seen mold growing in it. Just don't use 5200 on something you might need to disassemble.

This is the Attwood mildew stain remover I used on my vinyl this year, I had used spray-nine last year and that also worked:
