Hi Steve,
I should have listed install location in the
"Cons:" list of the Newport heater. It can be tricky.
The link I sent is for Newport diesel bulkhead
unit. The D2 has a huge advantage on heat output
on low settings, not to be overlooked. The
Admiral & I are a big fan of radiant heat, also not to be overlooked.
Diesel is the fuel for both heaters and tank
location with proper venting is the same for
both, so diesel odour is a wash, so to speak. The
tank can be almost anywhere for either unit and
if elevation is such that gravity feed is not
going to work for the bulkhead heater then you
get a little impulse pump similar to what the
Espar uses. I would see about putting the tank in
the cockpit combing area, that's high enough and
easy to fit a deck fill to keep everything
outside. Either heater would like a 2 - 4 gallon
tank since you're looking at up to 1 gallon a day
use in cold conditions maybe a bit less for the D2.
On the 40' wooden boat I'm fitting out for
retirement cruising I will have both types of
heaters so I won't need to choose which one is best. :)

Thanks for the helpful replies, all.
Russ, I really love the idea of the newport
heaters, to be honest, I like the idea of solid
fuel the most. A proper wood fire is one of my
favourite things. But the only units worth
getting are expensive wood stove types, which
are super nice, but I can't justify the expense
and they have drawbacks on a boat. The espar is
appealing because it's out of the way. The
problem for me with the diesel newport is the
fuel. I have an A4 powered boat and one thing I
really like about my boat is that it doesn't
smell like diesel! The bulkhead diesel heater
would necessitate a gravity tank somewhere
inside and I'm not sure where I'de have space,
maybe in the hanging locker. I'm concerned about
the diesel smell. Most of what I've read about
them is good however and to your point, maybe
more heat than the D2, less money for sure. It's
still an option, will my boat smell like diesel?Â

How much fuel does the Espar burn an hour? I use
a propane tent heater the warms the cabin for 6
hrs on a small canister, but it's not dry heat.
It takes the chill off, but doesn't dry the inside on a foggy Maine evening.Â

Steve,
 I have an espar installed by po, no
problems in five years. But, does have
significant current draw at start up. I need
to start engine to fire up unless on shore
power. After it gets going no
problem. Outlet in main cabin, v berth and head.Â

Hi All,
I'm starting to look at the Espar and Webasto
units. Is anyone running one on a 32? There's a
good price jump from the Espar D2 to the D4.
The literature indicates the D2 is good to 26
feet of boat, so it sounds like I need the D4 :(
My use is Georgian Bay, just want to extend the
season, not living aboard in the winter. The
boat is two hours away so there will be
"maintenance" trips in the spring and fall
which means sleeping aboard, it can get quite cold up there.Â
I have to keep the temps warm for the boat
parrot who'll be living aboard with us while we
cruise. We're planning three weeks in August
this year so it shouldn't be too much of an
issue but it gets cold up there at night, even
in August. I imagine a D2 would be fine for
cold summer nights but I have ideas about maybe
cruising the North Channel when the fall
colours are out. I don't want to limit myself.
At the same time, I don't want to spend money that could go elsewhere.Â
The Newport Dickinson Diesel bulkhead heaters
are pretty but I hear they don't make quite
enough heat. I'm leaning this way for the cost,
but don't want to be disappointed. Everyone
says the Espar and Webastos are best.Â
I'de be doing the installation myself in any
case so am eager to hear from others who have gone through it.Â
Thanks,
Steve
