[C320-list] Wintering in the Water-Question

[Mike Shoffner]

Jon,
 
I've used a Mighty Dry dehumidifier in my boat for several years and it's done a good job.  I keep it set on 60% humidity siting on a cutting board on the galley sink with the drain going into the sink.  It stopped working once, and I returned it to the company who repaired it and returned it promptly for what I thought at the time was a reasonable charge.  My boat is in the water year round in FL, and I always thought it was just good insurance against mildew, mold, etc.  The company claims they know of no one having a fire as a result of one of their units malfunctioning.  See www..mightydry.com.

I will be storing my boat in the water this year for the first time (Boston Harbor) and since I will have access to shore power I will have the opportunity to potentially use some dehumidifier type device. 
Does anyone have any advice on what to use? I purchased a WM portable heater that has a 'defrost' mode which kicks on whenever the cabin temp goes below 38 degrees and I'm wondering if this is the same concept as the plug in dehumidifiers that you can buy....any thoughts would be appreciated...

Regards,

Jon Vez
