Mainship 390 - diesel heater location

[Migor]

Hello!
I need to put Planar diesel heater to my 2000 Mainship 390 and having a difficult time to find a good spot for it...
If you have one installed on yours 390-400 - where did it go?


Thanks a lot for your info!

Not sure why you would want to - but if you did, then anywhere in the bilge with a proper venting/Exhaust passage and then tie into the existing heat ac duct work running through the boat, best marine heater is an Espar, The marine kit is allot more than the Truck version, available from any Heavy Duty Parts supplier (Same heater), the difference is the exhaust for the marine environment is a lot more in depth. You would have to adapt the Truck exhaust to the Marine exhaust.

Hi,
I just finished an installation with the heater under the floor at the lower steering station. It is a 5 kW CDH. Warms up the boat quickly even in freezing temp.
