It’s that time of year again to get prepared for cold weather
In North Carolina we don’t have to winterize our engines but I do put some antifreeze in the water system but now my question is how safe is it to leave a oil filled radiator heater on low for two weeks at a time without checking it? Last winter I had a nice live aboard keep an eye on my boat but he has moved south and my other option is to get a service I have been told that people leave the heat pumps running all winter but I’d hate for my strainer to clog in the middle of the night . So a very capable mechanic told me to leave an oil filled radiator on low just not so sure how safe it is any ideas?
It is supposed to turn on at 35 and cut off at 40 in the freeze protection mode and turn its self off if it turns over Thanks for the help
