[C320-list] Dehumidifier

[RONALD HODEL]

Jerry,

I have a Frigidaire 30 pint dehumidifier that I run all the time. (I am plugged into a dock.) If we are gone for an extended period of time we put the dehumidifier on the galley counter and run a hose down the sink drain to get rid of the water that is taken from the air. I usually go to the boat every day and so normally I just keep it running while sitting on the floor and empty the holding tank on the dehumidifier on a daily basis. (It’s a great excuse for telling my bride, I’ve got to go to the boat - truthfully she expects it - she likes the boat as much as I do.) I also have 2 110 volt fans plugged in, one in the v-berth and one in the aft cabin to keep air circulating. The beauty of doing this is that the boat does NOT smell like a boat when we go down. It’s fresh as a daisy. No mold. No mildew. I highly suggest a dehumidifier.
