Boat Heater for 2-29

My Toyotomi vented heater bit the dust, looking at either replacing it with the same type of heating unit, or looking at a diesel Dickenson, Anybody have the sure solution? I have an opportunity to redesign the layout of the interior details as I reconstruct my cabin this winter.

I have the Force 10 diesel heater in mine. I have have some issues with it and don't think I would recommend it. Maybe if I did things different. It has a seprate tank and a long run to the heater which causes problems. The tank is currently manually pumped up. I would hook up an electric pump next time so the pressure stays the same. It does take the chill out of the main cabin on a 40 degree rainy day. I use one of those heat driven fans from Cabelas to distribute the heat. It does not get heat to the bow or even the quarter berths. I don't like the fact that you can fall asleep with it running. If the pressure drops the cabin fills up with smoke. Not only is the smoke a pain to get off the cabin top it is a hazard to your health.

James, I have been very pleased with my Dickinson Newport bulkhead heater in Nemesis. It is a propane version, but I would expect the diesel to be every bit as satisfactory, The "fireplace" appearance with the glass door in front of the flame adds visual warmth to the heater's ability to cook me out of the boat during Northwest winters. For shorepower availability I have installed a "Pick-a-Watt unit in the interior pan at the base of the companionway. It is hard wired into the AC panel.

I put an Espar in mine. It is slightly larger than a shoebox and sits up inside the cockpit coaming on the port side. It vents out the transom with a single duct to the cabin. I love it. To me, the extra cost was worth not having a vent out the roof of the cabin.

Mariposa has a Wallas (Denmark or Sweden?) forced air diesel heater. It's a ridiculous overkill item, but I wanted my wife to feel happy to be on board. That didn't work, but I've had the entire anchorage on my boat on a cold rainy night and had trouble getting them all to leave. You can dial the heat down to a trickle and leave it on all night. It draws almost zero amps and sips diesel from the same tank as the engine. I put in in the same place as your Espar, a single vent on the transom and I put a couple of ducts under the quarterberth that blow out into the salon. You can't see it hanging there unless you are looking for it, so it's a shock to visitors to find the boat so toasty. Actually a waste of hardware (boat bucks) in Southern California, but I was living aboard in Seattle when I bought it. http://www.scanmarineusa.com/wallas_furnace_30d.pdf Wilkie From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Terrence Spencer Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 3:42 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: [Cal_Boats] Boat Heater for 2-29 I put an Espar in mine.

Now that is cool or warm and cozy looking, if I may! We may live in a warm or simi warm climate in the Santa Barbra Channel, However, I lived on my boat for over 4 years and thier have been nights I have woken up, cold to the bone. That is what drove me to a heater. When my kids where young they slept on the boat and I had to keep them warm and toasty. When I would have my three kids and they would bring a friend or 2, all that body moisture, then add cooking for the week and making hot drinks. The cabin top just drips condensation. My favorite time of year is just begining, it seems this is the nicest weather we get. The days are sunny, 50-60, the nights can dip in to the 40's. Dec and Jan we get the North East winds from Canada and those will cause the thermo to drop to upper 30's once in a while. I love sitting on the boat on a rainy day, with the heater hissing a warm glow and read a book, sipping on a glass of single malt while I am on the anchor, I love it even at the dock. For some reason, life doesn't get any better.

Randy You¹re right, of course. I¹ve gone back to sipping Wild Turkey and Woodford Reserve lately. My next Island trip will be mid-November due to other scheduled conflicts.

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of sailing with an old friend on his old early 1900's gaff rigged sloop. Mike had the smallest wood burning stove I have ever seen. All it took was a couple of 2x2 chunks of smoldering oak to warm up the cabin sole for a long while! So, lash a cord of oak and be warm for life! I guess the brandy tea and a view of the race off of Point Fermin is next best to crewing on this over cast October afternoon.

Upper 30¹s are common up here in the NW of course. The first time we used our Espar was a April cruise to Gig Harbor and we woke up with ice on the deck. The diesel heat certainly makes cruising much more palatable for my wife, which means we get to go out more. As for the libations, we have been developing a tradition of dark chocolate and a fine Port after dinner on the Capriccio. Life is good.

I was not aware of the outting. However, my son is in soccer thru Nov. and I have to support his wishes, after all he supports my sailing. We are currrently in 1st place in the TGIS series at PCYC. When do you plan to head to the islands in Nov? I might be able to make a deal with him.

I'll second that. On drizzly days the marina is quiet. Just me, the heron and egret, sometimes a hawk. Ducks and seagulls and our resident stormy romance pair of swans. Good book, good wine, heat.

That didn't work, but I've had the entire anchorage on my boat on a cold rainy night and had trouble getting them all to leave. You can dial the heat down to a trickle and leave it on all night. It draws almost zero amps and sips diesel from the same tank as the engine. I put in in the same place as your Espar, a single vent on the transom and I put a couple of ducts under the quarterberth that blow out into the salon. You can't see it hanging there unless you are looking for it, so it's a shock to visitors to find the boat so toasty. Actually a waste of hardware (boat bucks) in Southern California, but I was living aboard in Seattle when I bought it. http://www.scanmari neusa.com/ wallas_furnace_ 30d.pdf Wilkie From: Cal_Boats@yahoogrou ps.com [mailto:Cal_Boats@yahoogrou ps.com] On Behalf Of Terrence Spencer Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 3:42 PM To: Cal_Boats@yahoogrou ps.com Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: [Cal_Boats] Boat Heater for 2-29 I put an Espar in mine. It is slightly larger than a shoebox and sits up inside the cockpit coaming on the port side. It vents out the transom with a single duct to the cabin. I love it. To me, the extra cost was worth not having a vent out the roof of the cabin.
