Baller gregy Posted February 10, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2016 Anyone have a recommendation for a dehumidifier? I store my boat in a shop building with a cover over it to keep the dust off. Its never drying out causing mildew and some corrosion on the bolts etc on the engine. I have 120 volts in the building so I don't need a 12v dc, saw some of those online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarditup Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've run a dehumidifier under the trap for a while to get everything dried out. Most have a hose hookup that you can run through the under motor drain plug. If the building has high humidity, you may need some force ventilation to keep condensation at bay when the temperature varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegile Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I agree with @Mark_Matis. Hook up a heater and dry it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted February 11, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted February 11, 2016 Heater might work in for a few months out of the year here in Texas. Most months its too hot already inside the boat. I actually cooked the interior in one of my old boats had to replace it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted February 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2016 Dehumidifier under the cover will generate heat. Have you tried just putting a carpet fan in the boat? Although nothing is going to help if the cover is touching wet vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted February 14, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted February 14, 2016 I found a Eva Dry dehumidifier on Jet.com $44 free shipping. I'm going to try it but @oldjeep you might be right just a fan might be all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
