heater

Hey coolant experts... Soon after we purchased our boat in 2020, I dove into the list of chores identified from the survey. One of these was replacing the hydronic cabin heater, which was badly corroded and nonfunctional. I isolated that loop at the engine (valve), removed the old heater, and...

This heater worked great last week after pulling it apart and cleaning out a bunch of carbon from the burner chamber. I also had a coolant leak, fixed now. It was running great all I did when we left the boat after the heater cooled down was turn off the battery switch. Now the controller...

I have a J/30 in (Seward) Alaska. To the extent possible, I am looking to replace a Webasto heater with something 1) much quieter, and 2) much hotter. Though operating as intended, the Webasto is so loud that no one can sleep. It never cycles down, even in summer. It is installed in the...

Has any of you C30 owners set up a day tank to gravity feed a heater? I have the Dickinson Newport diesel and am thinking about running the high pressure fuel pump to it to prevent the pump running every now and again. Where did you put your tank? Above the dresser? Above the settee? My heater...

The title says it all. My Newport heater arrived and I am trying to work out exact details of the chimney install. I have planned on putting it on the port bulkhead facing aft for maximum airflow to the v-berth, but the chimney placement is challenging here considering the minimum length and...

Hi! I am looking for a starter unit to heat my Catalina 30's cabin overnight before I drop $1000 on a bulkhead-mount heater. Are there any cheaper portable options out there? Propane, for example? Thanks! -P

Hi, I recently purchased a 2002 Hunter 326 which had its hot water heater removed before purchase, and I decided to install a new one. In the parts section of HunterOwners, the suggested model was a 13x13x19" unit, which I purchased, but which definitely does not fit! If you own a Hunter 326...

I have an ODay 28 and am planning a retirement trip down the ICW from Annapolis to Mobile Bay Alabama departing September 2017. I went to a seminar on the trip (to Florida) and got ideas but it sparked many questions I want to put forth to this site for inputs/recommendations: 1. Get a heater...

Hi folks - first post after lurking for a while..... I have owned Grace, my 2000 311 Beneteau, for almost a year, and have a question about other owners who have a non AC heater solution. She has an AC-only Cruise Air air conditioner which also can heat, but it's far less efficient, and of...

I have a C30 in in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking for a low-profile, quiet/silent, A/C or propane heating option. The nights are not very cold and a small fanned heater about does the trick in the cabin so it won't take much. It would be great to have something in the cabin, as well...
