moisture control in boathouse
We have a fully inclosed, insulated boathouse with overhead doors and vinyl from bottem of doors to waterline. Due to cost, I do not want to heat through the winter. I am already finding mold growing inside the dock and everything is wet. So do I?
Place a dehumidifier? Dock is approx 24 x 30 - do I oversize considering I have two open slips? Am I fighting a losing battle with two open boat slips and using a dehumidifier?
Or do I Just open the dock and let it air flow? I think this will work or help but i do have security concerns.
Suggestion?
Thanks, chad

the dehumidifier will never win the battle ,better open up the ridge cap and a few vents so it can breath ... look around on here and check out Bill Ps

exactly, keep a door open and if possible, a forced exhaust fan to keep the air moving with new fresh air.

The bottom of the house is open to water? Unless you can stop the source of the humidity you can't control it. You need to circulate air outside the boat house thru the boat house. This will drop the humidity in the house as long as the outside air is less humid that the inside air.
