Just building on this... Agree, mostly.
Happens our 5 forward bilge compartments are directly "air-connected" to the interior of the boat. The 6th (engine room) isn't as closely connected, but clean and dry helps the interior anyway.
Fresh air movement is good. Especially in hot months, we keep our AC blowers running 100% of the time, augmented by portable fans in every "room" of the boat also running almost 100% of the time.

Speaking of moving air, I have two Eva-dry 1100 dehumidifiers I run when not on the boat, but my boat has a bit of a "rubbery" smell when I first walk in. Those two humidifiers hardly move any air at all. I need some air circulation.
What type of fans do you use, and feel comfortable with running 24/7 when not on the boat?
