Replacing pin striping on 2000 250SE & Boatsafe 300W bilge heat vs Xtreme 450

[ciscokidd]

Hello,

Looking for some feedback on any sources I can consider to repalce the pin striping on my 2000 Doral 250SE

Also if Boatsafe 300W Bilge heater is enough for 5.7GS Volvo Penta or if one is better off to spend the 55 extra and get Xtreme 450w bilge heater, both essentially would do the same thing. Climate here in the Pacific northwest does not get overly cold in winter mhts but we may get a run of 3 days where it will drop to 28 or so (-3 to -5 tops)

Boat will be sitting in the salt water 24/7, go with the Xtreme 450w? Found a price of $355 shipped vs $289 for Boatsafe. which would you grab, the savings would allow me to get decent Ceramic galley heater from West marine thus reason leaning to the Boatsafe and it says good for boats to 24 , mine is 25....

can't seem to find the MinMax 400w heaters anywhere

I stripped mine the day the boat arrived......
Think that if the boat is IN salt water 24/7 like mine, you don't need it.
If you take the boat out, is a different issue......

I had thought the same thing. Looking for some feedback on the bilge/motor heaters

I went with Boatsafe Jr 300w for the bilge engine compartment as heater. Another question I have is addition of a second bilge pump not T'd in but running separate line for redundancy!
