Re: Engine room heater
Do you know how many amps it draws?
Did you put yours on a dedicated breaker?
Is it a three prong plug or did you hardwire it?
Thanks,
Jay

Re: Engine room heater
I agree with the snap-on covers too for the vents. Just a bit of a breeze can blow any warmed up air right out of the boat!
What do you do for the HVAC and potable systems?

In the past I would shut off the water pump open all the faucets to drain the water out of the lines and leave the faucets open and not put much water in the water tank. So far haven’t had a problem. Do you winterize your entire boat?
I do, but I'm in a "hard freeze" area so it's a completely different scenario.
