[alberg30] Cabin heater

[RABBIT649 at aol.com]

From: RABBIT649 at aol.com

    For space saving as well as efficiency and saftey, I think the best 
solution would be an Espar forced hot air diesel heater under the cockpit 
sole or in one or the sail lockers. I believe they vent in much the same way 
as the engine and they would be near the diesel feul tank. Anyway, I know 
they're meant to be mounted belowdecks. Then a single 4" flexible duct under 
the sink and starboard bunk, thru the hanging locker and into the forward 
cabin would keep everything toasty warm and dry.
    But we're talking minimum 3+ grand here without installation. I guess the 
expense is not worth the benefits for those of us on the Chesapeake (not 
enough cold months) but for NJ and north, it's something to think about.
