I have used a demumidifier for many years.
Set to auto ... I put a drain pipe out through the transom drain hole.
I run it to a 5 Lit container .. and it must take out at least 40 L over the winter covers on time.
When it does come time to open her up .... all fully dry, absolutely zero mould or damp - ever.
A dehumidifier running on auto only switches on when it detect air moisture above set level, efficient and good at what it does.
Far better than heaters, as the goal is not to warm things up but to control based on relative humidity.
Prior to having powered unit ... I used to use the ‘rechargeable’ crystal ones .... type you plug into the mains for a few Hrs until crystals turn blue.
They are better than nothing but much less capable than a rotating disc dehumidifier.
BTW ... don’t get a compresser based dehumidifier, these drop efficiency with temp ... so useless when you need them most.
