Screwfix do a little 70 watt heater for £16 ish

 

works for me when I heat the boat

 

not on all the time

I am just going to put a dehumidifier on the boat it turns its self on and off and runs if required and warms the

air by 10 to 12 degrees and will drain out through the sink well that's the plan

I have the same arrangement as Graham but also have 2 small tube heaters for under the engines.  The dehumidifier is on all the time as it turns itself on and off depending on humidity the heaters are only put on in really cold conditions

If you have one you need Desiccant dehumidifiers as the refrigeration type do not work in cold conditions.

I've used a 450W greenhouse heater for the last 20-odd years.

 

Cheap to buy, has a frost setting, where it only kicks in when it drops below 5 degrees.

The same leads are available from rolec marine services.
