As long as the fan does a good job circulating the air it doesn't make much difference where the DH unit is.

Having used one in a 48 footer in Maryland in the Summer I can say the amount of water removed in a day is amazing so make sure the water drains into something of adequate capacity until the boat is really dried out.

I mounted mine in the saloon and used a fairly large fan down below with all the internal doors and hatches open to make sure there was not a lot of*isolated volume.
