I had a similar heater (Red Dot) on a previous 36 ft cutter with vent in salon. It would nearly drive you out of the boat with heat. I hope to install similar heater on my boat using existing ducting from my Espar heater so that either system could provide heat depending on whether the engine was cooking or not! It's on the project list! We have a propane wall furnace as well and it has been very effective and appreciated. The Red Dot was probably one of the best $200-300 dollar investments I made in that boat. Boat was usually dry as a bone and my family would be fine for winter and cold weather trips! I can't imagine why it would make much difference which way you run the glycol loop but It is important to run it down line of the thermostat in my opinion so that the engine maintains it's heat level. Diesels don't like to run cool apparently! Good luck with your project! Cheers Rick Paikea 37+ Sent from my iPhone
