My underseat storage isn't as dry as I would like it. To help reduce mold/meldew and increase airflow I would like something that would help keep things drier. I see some pricey modular options, though I am curiouis what cheap alternatives there are. This isn't for my deck, it is just for storage areas.

$3.95 for a 12"x12" tile. Hard to beat that. Cut it to size as needed.

Unless the storage lockers are sealed off from the bilge area, chances are good that most of the moisture problem is coming from condensation in the bilge.

Had this issue on my first boat. Even with the plug out, 2-3 days after the fact I still had condensation in the bilge that permeated up into the cabin and storage lockers.

Pulling the deck plates between outings helped a lot, but never really resolved the mold and mildew issue.

How about some 12volt fans from old computors....I save all I can find and use them for various airflow needs
