During the years and a half the Adrmiral and I have owned our PT38 one of the pending projects has been figuring out how to keep the head warm. The Espar furnace has outlets in the salon and the master's stateroom, but not enough heat bleeds over to keep midnight head calls from being very brisk on a cold night. We were looking at convection space heaters that could be well mounted, but they all had significant mass that would have required drilling and installing screws to anchor on the wall. There is also not a great deal of flat wall space in our head to accomodate mounting a 12 or 14 inch square heater.
During a trip to Home Depot a display featuring the Handy Heater caught my eye. It is a 350 watt forced air space heater that simply hangs from the wall outlet. There is a digital temperature control for 60-90 degrees F and an on/off rocker switch. The Admiral had it going yesterday (36 degrees outside), and reported that it "worked great".
If anyone else is looking for a compact, low-draw heater for a small space I'd recommend checking out the Handy Heater.
