Joe,
I did have a Red Dot unit installed in a previous boat that had a two speed
fan. High, and Inferno were the settings. No thermostat! but it only ran when
the engine was fully charging! It was mounted in the engine space and vented
forward. One vent, but man it blew hot air like nobody’s business.
Even then we sailed in the NW year round, and that heater made the winter
tolerable. In the winter there is too much weather or too little, so we did
plenty of motoring. Took less than an hour to turn the boat into a very dry
and comfortable place to hang out. We then would maintain with diesel heat
while onboard.
I am looking for a unit like this to push engine heat through the existing
heating system aboard our C&C 37+ (Espar D2 with 4 outlets), and I think I have
found it at Fisheries Supply.
My Controller (wife too) is very close to signing off on that purchase. She is
so cool! (just in case she reads this, I am buttering her up). Christmas Eve
with the family will be in Seattle/Bell Harbor on the boat, so it has to be
warm!
Merry Merry!

Hi Joe
I've got a unit like Mike's Heatercraft, under the settee, and I've got a two
vent unit under the v-berth, this feeds into the v-berth and also into the
head. I'm running an Espar though, not running it off the engine. Works great.

Does anyone have hot water cabin heat?
I am converting my engine to FWC and am planning to install a cabin heater. I
am wondering if anyone has done this and where they put the heater. I am not
looking forward to buying 70 feet of hose, but I think having the heater
forward will work better than back aft.
