[C320-list] Small Boat Dehumidifier

[greg.flanagan at shaw.ca]

I use a TCL 20-pint dehumidifier. It is relatively small and light but large enough to be electronic. It drains into the bilge which pumps it out, so very little managing is necessary. I have used it 2 seasons and has worked well. Besides dehumidifying it keeps the temperature above freezing.

I have been surprised that there aren't small dehumidifiers sold by marina stores that drain into the galley or head sink. Several years ago I purchased one from Amazon for $31 that drains into the galley sink and it did the job for almost two years and then I replaced it. It dehumidifies
2200 cubic feet so it seems adequate. While I drilled a hole and inserted a small brass nipple for the 1/4-inch drainage hose, there are models on Amazon that come with a drainage hose. I don't have hard data on how well it dehumidifies but wonder if others have gone this route.
