Only issue is the humidifier is essentially an air conditioner. If I don’t heat the boat up to maybe 65 degrees it isn’t going to be enough colder than the surrounding air to condense much and running a heater set to 65 and a dehumidifier will be quite the electric bill. I set the heat to 70 one winter and my wife was not amused at the $80/month electric bill. Are you sure a dehumidifier would work at 40-45 degrees? I was thinking maybe 55 tops for heat when I am not there. Joe Coquina

Being a live aboard mine drains to the bilge. But you could put it on the galley counter and drain it into the galley sink. I have mine set to 45%.

Anyone have any good ideas to get rid of it? Right now I am thinking about getting calcium chloride (the ingredient in Damp-Rid) and putting out a bucket of it plus maybe turning the heat up. I usually have it set about 45-50 degrees or so if I am not down there doing something.
