Man up and drill! What is the worst that could happen? (hey.......where did all that water come from)

We limit our cruising to the summer months, at least so far. A small electric ceramic heater when at the dock, works great. We also keep a lpropane Buddy on board, though we haven't used it yet. That said, I have wanted to do an hydronic heating system. I have the layout in my head and even some notes. Every year at the boat show I look again at the available equipments...But the number of boat bucks for the labor intensive install has me waiting for a significant liquidity event to pull the trigger. I am just not that comfortable wity drilling holes in the fuel tank and wiring the exchanges throughout the boat. Hydronic is expensive, but has flexibility, no need to run hoses larger tham 3/4" heater hoses and has the added pay off of giving hot water when at anchor. Kinda hard to beat if money is no object.

It beat nothing, but didn?t really warm the boat that much if you were not near it. Espar type heaters blow heat all over the boat.

A bulkhead mounted unit on a 30 or slightly bigger with open quarter berths is one thing, but it won't get heat in any kind of meaningful way to the aft cabin on the 37+, even with fans blowing the heat around. Perhaps the V-berth would be ok if you left the door and 'window' open. With our aft cabin on our petite 30-2 the forced air is only thing that keeps it warm even with fans. At anchor when we don't use the forced air as much (because of the battery drain of older unit), single source heating is uneven and uncomfortable. My opinion.

The output for my Espar is only about 3" in dia at the heater and quickly steps down in size as it branches off at the different outlets. I have photos of some of the duct runs. I'll take a look this evening. Ken H.
