Dennis,
I carefully considered one of those types of dehumidifiers. The largest
are usually rated at 20 or 25 oz per day. The traditional dehumidifiers
are rated at 30 pints per day. That's 24 times as much moisture removal.
Reading the reviews most of the lowest ratings were that the unit didn
There are 12 VDC dehumidifiers. I saw one on a boat couple days ago.
They're small and will fit in a sink. They come with a reservoir to catch
the condensate but if you remove it or drill a hole in the bottom, you can
simply put it in your sink and forget it.

I hang the CaCl in nylon stockings over big buckets in the v-berth, head, and

Cut nylon in half, fill each leg 1/2 way, lasts about a month and no worries
about overflow.

Hi Joe,
Your current conditions sum up a B.C. South Coast winter pretty well.
I run a ceramic style "cube" heater set about 10 degrees F above
ambient and on a 12 hour timer set to come on at midnight. This
allows me to override the timer if I'm puttering on the boat during the day.
80 bucks
I use 2 West Marine (Caframo) turbo fan air dryer heaters and a day/night
solar vent in the head overhead. Very little issue with mold or mildew.

Hi Joe
We are running a dehumidifier about 10 hrs a day. Really dried things up and
is very comfortable. 34F outside, 64F inside and climbing. We have it set to
pull it down to 50 and shut off. You can set them up to pump into the bilge or
sink if you choose.
Got this one at home depot.
