Boats are great for enjoying the water, but they also face the challenge of excess moisture, which can lead to mold, mildew, corrosion, and unpleasant odors. Moisture can accumulate in the boat cabin, engine room, bilge, and other enclosed spaces, especially when the boat is not in use or stored in a humid climate. To prevent moisture damage and keep the boat fresh and dry, it is important to use boat dehumidifiers and moisture absorbers.
One of the best ways to reduce moisture in a boat is to improve ventilation, which allows air to circulate and moisture to evaporate. Ventilation can be achieved by opening hatches and doors, installing fans, vents, or blowers, and using a boat cover with vents. However, ventilation alone may not be enough to control moisture, especially in cold or rainy weather, when the boat is tightly sealed, or when the boat is stored indoors.
Mold and mildew are common problems in boats due to the damp and dark conditions they provide. They can cause health issues and damage the interior, including upholstery, carpet, wood, and metal. To prevent mold and mildew, keep the boat clean and dry by using dehumidifiers and moisture absorbers. These can reduce humidity levels and inhibit their growth. Some products also have activated charcoal or additives to eliminate odors and improve air quality.
Boats stored in water are more exposed to moisture than those on land. Moisture can seep into the boat through leaks, cracks, or condensation, causing damage. To protect the boat, use dehumidifiers and moisture absorbers designed for wet-stored boats. Options include electric dehumidifiers with automatic shut-off features or chemical dehumidifiers with spill-proof containers.
There are various types of boat dehumidifiers and moisture absorbers available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common types are:
- Electric dehumidifiers use electricity to draw in moist air, cool it down, and collect the water. They are effective and efficient, removing large amounts of moisture and adjusting to different humidity levels. However, they require a power source and consume energy, which may not be convenient or cost-effective in some boat storage locations. Electric dehumidifiers are best suited for large boats or those in high-humidity environments.
- Chemical dehumidifiers, like silica gel, calcium chloride, or activated charcoal, absorb moisture from the air and store it. They are simple and convenient but have limited capacity and produce waste. They work well for small boats or those in moderate climates.
