is serving as a passive vent that has never leaked.

The only opening port I have on our 35-2 is in the head, and I never open

I find condensation only happens when the hull/deck is colder than the air
inside the cabin. If the cabin is allowed to cool the same as the ambient, and
the hull too, there will not be any condensation. However, heating the cabin
air when the outdoor ambient is cold, will allow the cabin air

The trouble with engine condensation and keeping a boat in the water is
that the wet muffler creates a loop seal and will push/pull moist air
through the engine cylinders. In my case it resulted in stuck piston rings
as indicated by low compression. Unbeknownst to me, the OEM suggests

These heater fans are very light just a couple pounds, if that.
During the cooler months I put one on the cabin sole in the galley area
it gets below 45
