A recent trip home from the fireworks the other night in the cold, damp fog, and my entire canvas and windshield were covered in condensation making it impossible to see out. Fortunately I have a "U" shaped section I can unzip in the starboard forward piece so I could at least see a little bit. I had to rely on my bow watch and electronics for the entire trip.

What do you do to combat this? Does anyone have any ideas or neat setups to alleviate this issue? Would fans or a source of heat work?

The boat operates in Maine, and so never take down my canvas, especialyl since half of the clear is stratoglass and I don’t want to damage it.

Thanks in advance for any help

Did you try opening the side vent windows? Also, maybe try some RainX on the windshield and Stratoglass (as long as it won't hurt it).

It could just be he way of telling you she liked it in MD better... :D

I think she does miss the south a bit, those early morning cold starts are tough....

I will try the rainex on the windshield glass, the stratoglass website advises not using it

did you get the RPM/Speed/GPH i texted you awhile back running with the new props? big improvement
