Hello we are switching out the forced air diesel since it is starting to die after 25 years. The replacement unit will be the webasto 2010 hydronic.
We are wondering. How many of you use this heater while not on the boat?
I was thinking of running the unit at a low temp setting like 45deg instead of using the electric heaters. The cost of running the electric and or the heater should be about the same. I am figuring the heater will run about 40 hours a month that is based on what the forced air heater would run monthly.
The other reason behind this is the boat and dock only has a single 30amp power. (Not able to add additional outlets)
We dont winterize the boat as we are at the boat 4 or 5 times a week and live about 20 minutes away. When the cold arrives we check the boat daily.
What do hydronic heater users do?
