    Compartment lids sweating on inside

    All the compartment lids on my 195 TXW sweat when closed
    Is there anything I can do to eliminate this problem?
    Thanks , Steve

    When not using the boat I always prop the lids open a little bit to allow any excess moisture to evaporate out. It' a boat. There is always going to be some moisture trapped in closed spaces.

    The one at Lowe’s or Home Depot with the silver foil backing. You can use Velcro or carpet tape which is double sided. Some also use the black padded mats that you walk on like 24 x 24 square pieces.

    +1 On propping them open. I cut 2X4's long enough on my Ranger RT188 to keep them open a little over an inch and kept a small fan plugged in with my charger and problem was solved
