I don't have a built-in AC but my Florida C&C 36 was horribly damaged as a
result of humidity neglect when I bought it. Part of the solution when I am not
south is a small dehumidifier which drains into the galley sink. My neighbour
sets it down on the cabin sole and secures it, among other things, when there
is a hurricane coming. There is a minimum 15 dollar charge for electricity at
the marina and between the 30-pint high-efficiency dehumidifier and the battery
charger for the bilge pump the boat has yet to exceed that minimum.
Your mileage may vary.

Listers,
For those of you who are in warmer climates and have air conditioning in their
C&Cs, when you are away from the boat and plugged in to shore power, do you
leave your AC running in cool mode or in moisture/dehumidify mode?
All the best,
Edd
