I just got a "boatsafe" engine compartment heater. I will hard wire it into the boat, plug in the shorepower cord, and see how well it works. It comes on at 45F and off again at 55F, a fan in the unit keeps turning for ten minutes after the heating element turns off to keep the warmer air moving around. Anyone have any experience with these? I live in Stafford county VA where the "winters" last December to March, thereabouts, and rarely does it stay below 25-30 degrees day after day. The boat stays in front of the house on a trailer. My hunch is the heater will stay ahead of the cold. Any thoughts?
p.s. looking forward to meeting lots of you folks, what a great site this is (thx Scot) and to all you Lake Winni people yer driving me crazy! My folks live in Tuftonboro but is rare for me to be able to get home. I was on the lake this June for a week with my boat but that was before I found this site! oh well, next time...
