I know this will spark the usual "are you a retread?" comments but I want to hear the input. We have been blessed with an arctic flow that will give us temperatures in the -13C (+8F) range. I purchased a household type oil circulating radiant heater from HD yesterday and plan on putting it in the bilge to keep the holding tanks from freezing.:smt021 As far as I can see there is no open ignition source and the cord is long enough to reach the nearest outlet without the use of an extension cord. Already have WM heater and dehumidifier in the cabin. These are very unusual temps for this time of year and we usually keep the boat in the water year 'round. Just don't want to winterize because we use it every weekend. Be cruel if you must, I can take it :grin:
Edit; will depressurize fuel system if that will help any?
