I have a Nicro unit right above the doorway to the v-birth on the cabin side of the bulkhead. I kinda wish I had a second one and I would like it in the aft stateroom. Like you guys though I hate to drill in the fiberglass and it's way down on the priority list.
The one I have is the regular Nicro unit, it works well and runs 24/7 all year long. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|6880|2290139|2290144&id=1193043 Since my boat is at a dock with shore power I also run 3 regular house fans (Vornado) around the cabin and that circulation keeps the mildew away. As far as dealing with moisture I tried the cheap DampRid thing from Walmart I had bought it for something else and decided to try it.. It works remarkably well. The summer is in full swing in Georgia this week it was hot and muggy for several days. We went to the boat today for the Wednesday night racing and even though the 90+ degree day made the cabin really hot it was remarkably dry when I walked in / opened the boat up. My small unit is about full (It has lasted almost 1 month) I think I'll buy a bigger one. http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=Damprid Good luck with it. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
