Ok, I am a noob to boating/liveaboards. In my 3rd year of this life.
There is about an inch and a half of water down in the V of the hull. There is always water there. Leaks are coming in from scuppers that plug occasionally and then leak into the boat. When I hear the bilge pump run I know there is a plugged scupper. About once every 3 or 4 months.
Is there anything I can put in the bilge to keep water from evaporating? Just trying to reduce humidity levels in the boat. Fiberglass hull, 1987 Cheermen PT, 41' double cabin/double bathrooms, kitchen, etc... Boat lives in Southeast Alaska, humidity is continual. I run 2 dehumidifiers, one forward and one aft. They run about an hour a day but the cold water temps make the hull below the water line sweat. If I could reduce the evaporation of the bilge water I think it would help overall in the battle.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
