So who's got the best deal on an electric heater for an engine room? I plan on winterizing everything anyway but it couldn't hurt to keep things from getting completely frozen. Would a 250 watt unit be enough in this case? I mean, if it's winterized I'm sure "anything" would be enough, but would a 250w unit end up being overworked?
Dominic - do you have the Boatsafe heater hard wired and mounted in the bilge? I was thinking about just plugging it into my cockpit outlit with a long cord. Thanks for all the replies.
Jim:
You don't have to pull the cockpit fridge. I had gas engines and didn't have the fuel crossover valves or the genie guages in the aft most compartment on the port side. I had the two storage shelves behind that aft most door. I simply undid the 6 screws and pulled out that shelving and I was then able to fish up the heaters cord. It will be easier if you first drop a drag line into the bilge from the cockpit....just don't put anything metal for weight on that line as the batteries are just underneath. After you get the heaters cord topside, you can simply snake it over the top of the fridge and into the forward most storage compartment and then plug her in....
