I just love the thought of being toasty warm on those brisky days while my rods are in the water & feeling cool on those hot sticky humids days when there is not a breeze to be felt.
Have you added a heat unit to your Abin? What model blowers?
Have you added heat/air combo unit?
Generator? KW?

Heater

Post by tlinson »

I installed heat in my boat last year. My boat is a 26 TE but i don't the model makes much of a difference. The heater i used was a Radex single.I tapped into the hot water heater lines and ran a 12 volt power line for the blower. It works pretty good, great this time of year. To install it I used 2 tee's, 2 ball valves, a couple of nipples, 6 pipe X hose adapters, some hose clamps and about 20 ft of heater hose. Mounted it on the bulkhead behind the cabin stairs. Ran the hose thru an access hole in the bulkhead and in the bottom of the galley sink enclosure. Summer I just close the valves coolant loops thru the water heater, fall open the valves got heat. On a 31 you'd probably need a larger heating unit. Good Luck!!!
