Many boaters prefer marine vinyl cleanser along with ELBOW GREASE.
Go over all the vinyl in the cockpit. This can be very time consuming but nothing looks nicer than clean white seats on a boat.
The seats should be waterproofed after they dry. every marine shop sells vinyl protectant with UV blockers. Apply the protectant on every piece of vinyl and buff off with a clean towel. The vinyl will sparkle and feel soft at the same time.

See if you can find Krazy Clean at your local marine supply store.
You can use it on a wide variety of surfaces.
Aside from "elbow grease" and a good cleaning product, never under estimate the power of good old sunshine!
On some of the tougher stains I have encountered, I will use a cleaner with a bleach base and let the sun light do its trick.
On another note, if it truly is black mold, you may want to scrap the seats and start over.

Combine 1 part bleach and 3 parts water in a spray bottle and apply to the seats... Let sit for an hour and rinse.... Most if not all the mold will be gone... Then spay again but don't rinse this time... Let dry... The dry solution will keep the mold from returning...

I've had great success with Murphys Oil soap. I prefer it because I've had problems with the stitching using bleach as a cleaner. I would suggest that before you make a mistake you may regret contact a Marine upolstery shop & see what they would recommend.

Take a bit of soapy water with just a bit of bleach, and scrub with a brush...they should be okay afterward.

Good old fashioned hot water,soap and bleach will do wonders for little costs.

I would use soap and water. Stay away from bleach and other harsh chemicals, they may ruin the upholstery.
