Not sure what to do as it's rainy here last night and all day today as well.

After I docked boat, I always put playpen cover on to protect from bird poop, dew, debris, etc. I feel like this carpet is never going to dry and/or mold is going to come :(

As soon as I see some sun or a break in rain I'll take cover off and hope for the best in drying out .. But it keeps raining!!!! Grrrr.

Thought about a fan but no elec at dock
 
Do you have dual batteries? You could buy an inverter and a box fan.
 
It'll dry.....we went out on the boat on Friday w/some neighbors and the carpet was pretty much soaked after all the swimming and my wife skiing and when we put the cover on. Went out the next afternoon and the carpet was dry.....
 
Mildew is the question I think. Lay down towels and walk on them to soak up what you can. I doubt you'd have a problem for a couple days.

Agree with put the cover on and check on it when you can

This is what we do. After HEAVY rain, ours gets soaked at the side door and edge of helm. I use micro fiber towels as they seem to pull the water better.
