    Wallas 22GB

    That will be sweet. We are using our recently installed Wallas 1800 for the first time this week and very impressed with it. Ken

    vaccination

    So I am not a doctor. I hope no one is taking their medical advice from this thread. I assure you my friend is suffering a severe reaction to the vaccine, according to her doctors who continue to run tests to determine a treatment strategy. Personally, I consulted my personal physician before...

    Canada - US Border

    Sorry had no intention of drawing the rath of others, just poking fun at the absurdity of the situation.

    Canada - US Border

    I respect Canadian officials keeping the border closed, especially when the US promotes the free flow of illegal immigrants on our southern border, many of which carry the COVID virus.

    vaccination

    I have a close friend who is a first responder in the EMS field. As such she was able to receive the vaccine in January. Unfortunately she has had a severe reaction. She has been incapacitated and unable to function in daily life since then. She is an extreme athlete and has been been able to...

    Wallas 1300 Heater Installation

    Installed the Wallas 1300 today. Utilized the space between the aft facing seat and the hull. Built a bulkhead out of 3/4” plywood that it is mounted to. The fuel tank is in the box under the seat. Plan to install a remote start switch in the vbirth. Thanks for all of the advice on the...

    Alaska Series Motor Bracket

    We have the TDS 220. I could not tell from their website if the tenders had a common tube diameter. Your cheapest option might be to take your steel bracket to a local welder. I considered stainless but cost and weight won out. The aluminum is much easier to take on and off, mostly because it...

    Alaska Series Motor Bracket

    Thank you CC for adding my photo. Just wanted to share that I had an aluminum motor brackett fabricated by a local welder to replace the stock bracket. The stock bracket had rusted and rust stained the gelcoat on the cabin top. It ran about $200 but is stronger, rustproof and about the same...

    Dickinson Lofoten Heater/Cooktop

    Thanks Sandy. It looks like I’ll have about 8600 available BTU’s if both the Wallas and Dickinson are needed, yet be able to sip JetA or kerosene in the Wallas when that is adequate. With most DIY projects I subscribe to the theory of “overbuild to make up for lack of engineering”. We will be...

    Dickinson Lofoten Heater/Cooktop

    Based on the much appreciated input from some trusted Cbrats, I ordered the Wallas 1300 yesterday. Sounds very durable and trouble free with plenty of dry heat. I’ll post some install pics when I get it installed. I’ll leave the Dickinson P9000 in for now for redundancy and added heat...

    Dickinson Lofoten Heater/Cooktop

    Thanks everyone for the great input. I’m still undecided. There are several good options but it seems everything is a compromise. Most of you favor forced air systems for heat distribution and moisture control it appears. I called Bruce at Scan Marine today to ask some questions about the...
