Mercruiser 4.3 V6 Sweating

Now the sun is finally out in the UK, when I remove my cover and inspect the engine she's covered in condensation. Other than keeping the cover off are there any tricks of the trade or products that I can use to absorb the moisture?

Run the engine to normal operating temperature. ​

Keep paint on it, spray it down with engine detailer and don't worry about it.

Although Zack's suggestion is more fun.

After sitting this year out side over the winter with just a cover on the boat I just happend to lift my engine hatch up in mid february and found all the moisture on the engine so dried it up and I just happend to have a old torn up bimini top canvace laying around and so I coverd the engine up with it till may and after a little more rain when I uncoverd the boat/engine And it was dry, So either I was to late or it worked I'm not sure this year.
