What Is the Hull Dryer?
The MarinerX Hull Dryer actively removes moisture trapped inside your boat’s hull through the inspection port. It's ideal for Sunfish sailboats and other small craft with similar access points.
Currently designed for Beckson 6" inspection ports, we are looking to expand fitment for other popular inspection port brands and sizes. Please let us know what you’d like us to design for next.
Watch It In Action
How It Works
1. Threads directly into an inspection port
The first variant is a plug-and-play fit with a Beckson brand 6" inspection port.
2. Just plug it in
Powered by a 12V DC wall adapter with barrel jack connection (included). No switches, apps, or setup required.
3. Circulates air and removes trapped moisture
Improves handling and reduces hull weight by actively drying enclosed spaces.
Specs
- Fits Beckson 6" threaded inspection ports
- 12V DC input (wall adapter with barrel jack included)
- Draws 11 Watts
- Delivers 101 CFM airflow
- IP68 waterproof-rated fan

Internal Airflow Diagram
Air enters at the side, is driven downward by the fan, and exits through the hull opening via the inspection port.
What Our First Tester Says
“Dryer arrived today. Looks well built. I may not be able to try it on my Sunfish until early May but will let you know how it makes out.”Apply for Beta Testing
