Default what to use for mildew during storage.

Can anyone recommend the best mold and mildew repellent for boats stored under shrink wrap from October to late April.(northern climate,NY.)
Every spring I find mold spots on the inner surfaces of my canvas work.It even rotted some of the thread and I had to have it restitched.The top is made from sunbrella supreme that has a vinyl inner layer.
I bought some fabric safe mold remover from 3M that did a great job,and followed it up with some treatment that you apply,which is supposed to prevent further mold growth.I did it this summer and so far no mold,but I guess time will tell when spring rolls around.

Are the hanging mold/mildew repellent things any good.?They claim to have a chemical that permeates the air and stops mold. Any thoughts? Thanks all
