gjb Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 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 Graham Maverick Martin and jerry.shutter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 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 gjb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 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. Maverick Martin and Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
