Buy a small dehumidifier, the one that's a little self-contained air

HOSE you can drop in the sink so you won't have to manually dump the
tank, which will fill up in a matter of a few hours on a damp boat.

Close the boat so the dehumidifier can pump all the water out of the
swamp air inside the boat. If anything is left open, new swamp air that
you are now letting into the boat (sea air in the tourist brochures)
will never let it pump the boat dry and stop the condensation.

If you think the boat is too hot with a dehumidifier, install an air
conditioner, which will both dehumidify the boat and pump the heat
outside.

Leave the AC run all summer and the dehumidifier running all winter to
keep the boat dried out. Your problem goes away as soon as the air
inside the boat is DRY, not like a North Carolina swamp.

The other crap from West Marine is just that, crap. Damprid will work
inside a plastic bag.....but not in an open boat. It's made to sell.

You will simply be amazed at the CONSTANT stream of water that comes out
of that condensate drain hose of the little dehumidifier. 20 gallons a
day isn't unusual. The whole boat will smell lots better, once the
mildew and bacteria growing from the swamp air loses its water source
and they die.


Thanks....I was almost getting ready to run the AC with the heater in
desperation...on way to Lowe's now to see what they have in stock...

If you are in a marina with no metered power....why not? That will cause
the AC to run and dehumidify the house. Commercial air conditioning
systems have heating elements in them to do just what you were
thinking....making the AC run to pump out the water.

I used to work in a shipboard calibration lab where the temperature was 72F
+/- .2 degrees. The humidity control to hold humidity to 50%, eliminating
the problems associated with static electricity, was steam heating
radiators built into the 25 ton air conditioning system. When the humidity
sensors said it was too moist, the steam came on, heating up the air
conditioner's output and making it run longer to keep up. This dried out
the air and shut the steam back off.

Of course, you'll want to make sure you have sufficient amperes to run them
both. Leave the heater on 1000 watts and turn the thermostat to way above
the normal setting. Run the AC and it'll pump out the heat and water.
Problem solved. The humidifier is the slicker way to do it. The hot
condensor heat the AC pumps overboard is simply reheating the cold air
coming out of the evaporator on a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers heat the air
because you're adding the power of running its machinery and fan into the
net-neutral heat of evaporator and condensor.

I'm watching a mother laying dead on a stretcher next to her two dead
children as her husband screams in horror over the three corpses as the
United States/Iwraeli genocide continues. The USA blocked the UN from
condemning Israeli genocide this morning.

Damn them all....Damn US.

Damn the British Government for 1948.

So, if your neighbor murders your son, it's ok for you to kill them all?

That's not what the cops say where I live. It's NOT OK for me to kill off
the neighbors if they kill someone of mine. I'll certainly want to, but we
are a society of laws. We don't just start banging away on the neighbors
with our M-16s trying to see how many we can kill. That leads to anarchy
and everyone dies.

Why is murder OK when it's done by Zionists? I've wondered that for years.

Flip that over. You're saying its ok for the Hamas to murder? Of
course you're not, but how do you stop them? Have the UN tell them to
behave?
Give us a good solution.

Give them everything they want. Anything less than complete capitulation and
the violence will continue. Of course there would still be hold-outs, even
then. And violence from holdouts on the other side will increase
exponentially. If the world were made up entirely of reasonable people, a
peaceful solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem could be found.
Unfortunately, it's not, and one won't be.

The most rational thing the US can do in this situation is to refuse to take
sides and turn peacekeeping over to the UN. But it's far too late for that,
I fear.

Laws of society? Yet you just got done telling me how all Jews should die or
AH should have "finished" the job.

You're a loon.

So why do you insist on debating with a loon? Do you think he will
suddenly stop being a loon if you argue with him enough?



Yes, you're right of course. It's a fine line between not allowing racist
stuff to go without saying anything and thus condoning it and ignoring loons
as a matter of policy.

You can point out that a post is racist with one post in that thread
if you feel that every one is is less intelligent than you are and
can't figure it out themselves. That is not the same thing as engaging
in a debate.



I doubt that I'm more intelligent than anyone else here, which is doubless
why I posted multiple times on the subject.

I didn't say anything of the sort, just wonder why you condemn the
people who try very hard *not* to hit civilians, but say nothing about
the people who deliberately target civilians.
