I used a product on our pontoon boat from Wal-Mart....advertised to remove mildew and not damage fabric or threads..I forget the name but it is one of those companies that specializes in boats and RVs...only managed to get half the boat done before winter. Sprayed that half with the WalMart version of Lysol Bathroom Disinfectant Spray. Boat was covered with one of those full covers with four poles connected to vents down the centerline, creating a "tent" appearance. Boat stayed in water all winter, and when I uncovered it this spring the untreated half looked awful, while the treated half had only two dime-sized spots of mildew. So, the suggestion is that if you don't have a boat house or covered boat slip, after you have removed the mildew spray it with disinfectant spray and that will help to retard new growth.

BTW, got the Lysol idea from the forum. Thanks to the kind person who originally posted it.
