Anyone else have trouble with condensation on their engine? I prop the hood slightly, but still end up with condensation from the night/day temperature swings.

My nuts are getting all rusty! :) And some bolts too. Even with Yamalube Silicone Spray.
 
Hate rusty nuts.....
 
my engine compartment is pretty dry with the exception of the occasional bit of water in the bilge.

My guess is there is likely something in there that's raising the humidity in the engine compartment. I'd check all of the water in/out connections back near the transom, and then check your water boxes..make sure all the hose clamps are tight.

That'd be where I'd start.
