Hi, if Maplins items are like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/car-heater-12v-ceramic-fan-hot-window-screen-demister-/190455831891?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c580d5d53

..Then, my mate bought one for his car as the blower stopped working...in winter! he said it was a pile of poo basically, drained the battery big time and barely heated a dinner plate size of screen.

Mind you that may be all you need on the boat. But anything that turns electric into heat will cane a battery. Theres plenty of tales with things like vinegar wiped over a screen stops the mist...but the facts are... condensation forms when theres a greater difference between inside and outside temperatures. So more heat inside...means more condensation!

Praps just leaving a side canopy open can remedy this at no cost!

let us know if you overcome it though?

Cheers Rick

I bought a 12 volt electric fan to do just that.

Hi - cant you just increase the ventilation, assuming you have the canopy fastened? There are products available, but ventilation is cheapest

Cheers Rick
