Heater in the cabin

[Starcraft Enterprise]

Any of you with an I/O ever installed one of these in the cabin of your boat? I installed one once in the cab of a backhoe. Was really simple. Bought some bulk heater hose from auto parts store and ran 12 volts to the switch.

I have installed a hundred of those on forklifts. Opps put one on his boat. The downside is they must be running to get heat.

Red dot heater does the same as the ALLIS does...

I think Red dot is the standard for most boats that use engine heat. I set mine up to heat the cabin and the cockpit area (Admiral and my side). Next season, I may duct it to keep the windshield clear as a defogger...

I used a rear heater from a school bus...worked great.
Looked like that Red Dot heater.

This is what I use in the winter.
It holds 2 bottles and has a fan.
I run it on low and it lasts a long time.
It works great and the price is right.
