What is a dehumidifier?

It's an appliance that can help reduce the level of humidity in the air. The dehumidifier will then produce excess water as a result, which you can then remove.

Why do I need a dehumidifier?

Humidity in the air can lead to damp conditions which can in turn cause mould & mildew to form. This isn't what you want to return to after leaving your boat for any amount of time in a marine environment, which is generally a humid environment.
