[C320-list] Cabin Heaters

[wes.giles at averydennison.com]

There are several options to choose from. Much depends on your aversion to 
price. There are wall bulkhead mounted units that use external fuel 
(diesel or propane). These are the least expensive.  There are diesel 
forced air units as described by Bob and Sheila. There are hydronic units 
that heat using radiator like units and also heat the water in the hot 
water tank. These are the most expensive. Actually a good sized oil lamp 
hanging from the cabin ceiling will take the chill off, but won't actually 
heat the cabin.

We installed a Webasto diesel forced air unit on our 387 and love it. It 
uses fuel directly from the boats fuel tank. It gets real toasty in the 
cabins now.

I had a forced air diesel heater installed when new. It has a vent in the 
main cabin and one in the aft cabin. It works with a thermostat just like
@ home. It keeps Hale Kai warm on those cool Puget Sound days and nites in 

the fall and winter. It uses the fuel out of the main tank.
