If I have to walk to the tavern to get my beer, so be it. They will have to drag me, kicking and screaming, to an ethanol pump. |

A good article on heating options can be found in the Nov/Dec issue of Pacific Yachting. _________________ Pete

Very nice installation Mark, well thought out. In picture #3, what is the little tube/drain going out below the shear stripe (or is that the boot stripe)?
You'll come to love that little heater, so quiet, practically no electricity to operate, dry heat and no smell. _________________ Steve & Carmen

That is the drain from the Factory cooler installed under the helm seat. I never minded this option but that is because I never even once tried to use it as a cooler. I use it as a pantry/shelf space. I keep all not refrigerated food and jars and cans and etc. in there. For that it works well. Good storage, sealed from air, etc.

This is a good point, Mark!
While all the volume is not available due to the insulation, I'd hardly call the factory installed icebox worthless, as so many do.
It's a great place to store heat and humidity sensitive items like your cameras, extra batteries, film (obsolete now), perscriptions, cosmetics, catfish bait, worms, handguns, and contraband (YMMV)!
What's in your Wal.......er....icebox???
