The cuddy cabin on my boat tends to get damp, from condensation & wet boots. I try & open the small windows & hatch to keep some air moving but things tend to get musty & mildew. Located behind a canvass partition are all of the electrical connections, that so far have been trouble free, should I be spraying something on the wires & connections to prevent corrosion?

I second The General's suggestion. I have been using DampRid in my cabin since I got this boat and never had a mildew problem. I DID not do that with my CC and by the time mid-September rolled around it was a MESS down there...
I also put the BIG DampRid tub in for winterization, along with mothballs and Bounce Dryer Sheets for rodent protection. No problems or issues...

Third on the damp rid. Just change as necessary

I also use the Boeshield and Damp Rid combination. Nothing will totally stop the rusting process in a salt water environment but these two products go a long way towards slowing the process down.
