Hey everyone. With warmer weather approaching, I need to find a good dehumidifier to leave in the boat while I'm away. What does everyone use?

How do you dehumidify your boat?

I just use the moisture mode on my A/C control.
MOISTURE MODE Use Moisture Mode to help control humidity. While in the On Mode, simultaneously press the Power and Down buttons. The first cycle starts in one minute. Every four hours, the fan circulates air for 30 minutes. During this time, the air temperature is sampled and entered into memory. If necessary, the cooling cycle starts and continues until the temperature is lowered 2°F (1.1°C) or until the compressor runs a maximum of one hour. Four hours after the temperature is satisfied or the compressor times out, the cycle repeats. The “HU1” code displays while in Moisture Mode. Press the Power button once to end Moisture Mode.Dave

I have a unit that I got from Home Depot. It is a portable AC/Dehumidifier system that I have in the forward bedroom. Don't have to worry about a drain system it evaporates the moisture in the air. Don't ask me how it works, it just does. I have one vent hose that vents to the outside. The dehumidifier cools better than the AC setting. It cools the room down so much that you could hang meat in there. I also use DampRid.Just love being on my 3870............Bill

I also use a dehumidifier. I get ones that have a hose port and use a short section of garden hose to drain it into the sink. Seem to get one season out of a unit, then have to replace them.97 2859

All I know is that when I turn the unit to dehumidifier the fan automatically changes to the low speed and the temp drops like a rock. This will be the 5 season that I have used this unit/Just love being on my 3870............Bill

Hi Bob, and I will post a photo as soon as I can. Mine came with a window attachment and with a slit modification it fits over a port hole window. Removed the glass and left the screen up. Mounted the window attachment to the rubber seal that goes around the window and hooked up the vent hose. I leave it up all year. I only started to use some DampRid about two years ago.Just love being on my 3870............Bill
