An electric heater paired with a dehumidifier is probably the most effective. We sometimes run an electric heater with the air conditioning which accomplishes the same thing. That was going to be the next step...we run two heaters, one in the aft cabin and one in the salon...if I can't find a dehumidifier fast enough I'll just haul that out and see if it works with the heater's/. Another liveaboard was complaining too b ut they have propane heat and theur cabin was actually "raining" on them. At least we don't have that going on! The hatches are staying dry and there's no condensation on the lexan. If you are going to use the AC to dehumidify use a low air flow rate setting, if possible or restrict it, to keep the evaporator temperature low. It will produce a lower humidity and probably remove water faster that way. Thanks. Will keep that it mind. |
