Re: Stus-List Dealing with humidity

I saw many cruisers install solar fans in their boats.  Many newer boats have them in their opening ports.  I skipped the opening ports and installed solar fans in through the cabin top.  They work great!  Independent of the battery.  No mold. No stuffy boat smell.  They don't cool the boat, cause the outside temp gets to ninety, and the cabin gets to 110 degrees cause of the added solar load, unless I rig my Ronstan inflatable awning.

How do you guys, without A/C, deal with the dampness in the cabin.  Our cabin got so humid that the bedding was damp and kind of gross to sleep in.
 
We tried those damprid things and the bag filled but it was still very damp.  We also used one of those tubs with the white stuff in it and it didn't seem to do anything.

My 2005 Nicro is still working fine, (in the head) of course only in the day and 6 months a year. As another mentioned, it is getting noisy, but at least the impeller doesn’t fall off anymore for some reason.

I say install the muffin fans.  Just do it.  These have made a dramatic difference.  It  amazing on how moving such little air eliminates smell and mold.  They are only 80mm, right in the Dorade Box and use so little juice I don’t even think about it.  I removed the Tuba horns and made a drink holder out of the hole. I don’t remember pulling the wires through the ceiling liner, so it can’t have been that big of a problem.  I have a switch for them on my regular panel.

There are also the DIY projects on installing a muffin fan in the companionway hatch boards, something I'm not really wanting to do.

 

Any listers want to chime in on this?
