I am sure I saw an add some years back for a small dehumidifier that
you can put under a cover of a boat in the winter - stop mould, damp
etc.
Anybody know of one - European preferable for 220V 50Hz, but would also
be OK if a 12V version.
I have seen 'heaters' to sue under covers, which claim to keep boat
above dew point .... anybody know if they work well, would assume a
unit that keeps air dry would be better choice, than one that just
keeps it warm. |

I use a standard tarp during the usage months - last year put it in
garage over winter with a breathable cover - elasticated edge, like a
large shower cap.
Just thought it worth looking at dehumidifiers, I saw an add some time
ago (maybe Overtons) that had a complete bubble cover (like the ones
for cars) and this had a dehumidifier under it.
Boat is a closed bow outboard powered runabout. >> Stay informed about: Dehumidifier |

No good at all unless you can seal the boat away completely. Same with
those stupid crystal things. Just get a decent tarp, and let it
breathe. >> Stay informed about: Dehumidifier |
