Eliminate Humidity with the Eva-Dry 1100 In the cold winter months of the Pacific Northwest, mold and mildew are facts of life on board, but they don’t have to put a damper on your next excursion. This deceptively small EDV-1100 electric dehumidifier from Eva-Dry zaps moisture out of the air, drying out as much as 1,100 cubic feet in a few hours. Using Peltier Technology, the unit does not use a compressor, so it produces almost no noise. Measuring just 8 inches tall, the EDV-1100 is ideal for boats, but also works on land for RVs, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and any other mid-sized spaces where dampness is common. Includes a detachable 16-ounce reservoir that allows you to toss excess water overboard. $53 // Available at Fisheries Supply in Fremont or fisheriessupply.com 34
