Propane heater to be installed under gunwale outside of cabin. Using old remtron to get the fit. Heat at 325F to pumped into the cabin. Air to circulate with a cold air return. The diamond plate aluminum is to keep the elements out. ...but its probably not required. The Swedish unit is pretty stout and weather proof. Mockup being used with my old unit.

I have never heard of this heater...can you supply a product link?

Google has been less than helpful...is there perhaps a spelling error?
 
The project is not complete. The hot and cold are enter the cab under the lip. The squirrel fan blows hot air strait into the cabin to the forward quarters
The unit is outside in the upside down "mailbox"

The gas, 12v, and timer still need to be installed.

The way this works is that there is no cabin or deck space lost to the heater. The gas will be hooked up later. I will try try to enter the final installation pics
 
The world does catch up to us sometimes. Ok, so the final set was a bit daunting. The problem was that the little fitting for the propane is metric and swedish. The guys at tacoma screw and home of all good fittings acknowledged that they had never seen such a fitting and that it was "interesting" Oh yey!
I puzzled my puzzler until I had the odd thought of trying google pictures just to see how others had solved this "interesting" problem. It was there that I saw a unit just like mine....in fact it was mine. Google pictures had MY unit in there pictures! It was there that I saw an odd little fitting on the bottom of the remotron. I seemed to remember that little brass fitting so out to the garage I went. And there in the bottom of the box was the fitting....Problem solved
