Mark, could you post the make and model of the Chinese heater you installed and where you purchased it from? I would like to install one in my 22' this winter.


I installed one of these from Ebay. You can look through all of the similar (identical?) options to try to get the best combination of parts for use on your boat. Although the heater kit is cheap, it isn't for a boat and you might spend more than an additional $100 for parts.

First, the muffler that comes with these is for "external" applications underneath a vehicle. In my photo album is a DIY muffler that silences much better and can be used inside the boat. You will need a SS exhaust through-hull of the right size. Get the angled one so that it can be angled up to keep water out. You will probably need additional SS exhaust, hot air tubing, and registers (although I got by with only one register on the CD 16). You should get "header wrap" or some other type of lagging to mummify the exhaust tube and muffler. Don't go cheap on lagging.

Although the remote on/off key fob seems like it wouldn't be useful on a small boat, it actually is. Regardless of where you put the wall thermostat, the little fob can be kept right at the helm when underway or right in the berth when overnighting.
