Dessicant is a general term for anything that absorbs moisture from the air. They range from those little bags of silica in sneaker boxes (do not eat) to the ones in a plastic net bag that are filled with what looks like white cat litter. They can be found in lots of places, like Pep Boys or Walmart. I have had a few of the bigger ones for years. Just lay them out in the hot sun when they lose their effectiveness. Joe

Hey, Mid America has them... They've actually got an entire storage prep kit with some -fuel fresh, sta-dri moisture protection kit, Garage mat for your leaks, and silicon grease for your weatherstrip...

Or you can just get the sta-dri. It's supposed to protect from rust too. Makes sense, no moisture, no oxidation, no rust!

You can also get industrial sized dessicants from boating supply stores. We put a few big ones in our boats every winter. Plus we have electric dehumidifiers running 24/7 inside the boats all winter to help keep condensation / mildew out. They really work well considering the boats are stored on the boatlifts at the dock in the backyard - ie hovering over the river all winter.
