<<We use multiple fans inside circulating air in the boat and outside blowing fresh air inside but I have seen small specs of mildew on the headliner.>> Wilbur, The trouble with fans is that they keep the internal humidity just as high as the external humidity. In Florida, with hot 90% humidity days, fans do not help much. Wipe the interior surfaces with an anti-mildew solution (diluted bleach will do) and install a small dehumidifier. Drain the dehumidifier into the bilge. Larry Z

Wilbur, I single use a single dehumifier on a 49 foot raised pilot house in south Florida and it solves the problem. I use a home 110v purchased from a Home Improvement retailer with orange signs. It is a pain to stow but we have plenty of space for it in the engine room when not in use. Suggest that rather than drain into the bilge, you place unit on a counter top and drain into a sink either in galley or a head so the condensate will drain overboard--assuming your sinks drain overboard as most do.
