Has nothing to do with fresh water or salt....has to do with humidity
control...Did you put out mildew pots? or did you put some charcoal in a
bowl or two? Have you used an anti-mildew product on your cushions and head
liner? Do you make sure everything is dry before it is stored away?

Mildew pots?!? Sounds disgusting.

Do you place them next to the bucket of drool, or near the tub of
maggots?

Silly boy...you get them at the grocery store...they are plastic tubs with
absorbent stuff in the bottom..over the winter they collect water and reduce
humidity in closed areas...

I really do not believe that such things are capable of absorbing enough
moisture to make a real difference. I leave a couple of ports slightly
ajar, and that really makes a big difference.

They do make a difference. We use 4 of them...one in each cabin plus one in
the head...and I dump out the "collection" about 3 times a winter...and we
don't have mildew on the boat....

I tried them a few years ago, and I found that they filled up in a week.
As I couldn't get down to the boat every week, I felt that they were a
waste of time. However, since I started leaving the ports open, I haven't
had any problems.

Thanks for the clarification.

But you're confusing we with Wally. I'm not Wally.
He's from the Uk, and I'm a fellow troll.
