Well it's midwinter and New England I don't know if anybody else knows about this but we've been using this heater for about 3 years now it's a diesel heater from Amazon under $200 live I live in Northern New England I have a 1888 305 sedan Bridge I have this Chinese diesel heater in the bilge I installed a separate fuel tank of 6 gallons I ran ducking into the cabins put this heater has been running Non-Stop since October of 2022 Around the Clock it is now January 26th 2023 this boat is always heated at a temperature of 75 to 80 degrees at the beginning in a month it was down near zero degrees Fahrenheit it was still 75° in this boat it cost a little bit more fuel when it gets colder it burns around 3/4 of a gallon every 24 hours of diesel or kerosene it's very quiet efficient I'm pretty easy to install I read a lot of posts where they had problems with the reverse Cycles on the AC unit I see a lot of of guys telling the person that has the problem with their AC unit that's not heating just to put an electric heater in did you realize what your electrical bill would be at the end of the month running that thing for 30 days and one little electric here is not going to heat a boat you need three or four then you need need them in the bills also so you probably need six or seven heaters to keep the boat warm I use one 8000 BTU Chinese diesel heater the air is warm dry no fumes no noise so Google these guys if you really want to get some heat or the AC just ain't doing it for you in Reverse they're worth the money they're very safe if anybody needs any input instructions videos pictures I have them oh and they are extremely small in size happy boating keep warm
