low cost alternative to bilge heater....

[Four Suns]

And right after we finish up with the experts view on boundary layer theory, we can move on to perpetual motion machines and how the big evil oil companies bought destroyed that invention where you could drive 500 miles on a cup of gasoline. Or... better yet... we can discuss how the holes in your swim platform prevent stress on it when it goes underwater...

[QUOTE only thing I want to add this year is a thermostat which would be able to have the probe in the engine compartment and the display in the house.

I put a cheap Radio Shack unit on my boat. Comes with 1 remote sensor which I put in the bilge the other home base unit I move around from cabin to cockpit. Records High and low temps. Suppose to handle up to 3 remote sensors. I need to get some for the other boat.[/QUOTE]

I love my bilge heater and also use that thermometer & sensor. For the cabin I use a ceramic heater and an Air-Dryer. Nary a problem with any of them! No way would I use an electric blanket in my bilge.
