Boat smell

They do nothing like what a proper desiccant dehumidifier will pull out. Mine was doing almost 20 litres a week when I first got the boat! Now it smells brand new.

Agreed, but they have their uses. I used to put one in the cockpit locker where the battery charger was sited as this didn’t connect with the rest of the boat which I dehumidified. They were also useful on my old Sadler 29 where mains power was less available and I took all the soft stuff home.

Yes that and fit some computer fans to circulate and expel

It smelt fresher when my heads extractor fan was reversed so it blew air inside the boat. Since replacing the new one extracts and the only was fresh air can get in is through the engine bay.
