DIY Heater

Little Lady was not equipped with a heater as built. We hope to use her a fair amount in the cooler months here to make up for not using her in the hottest. Installing the heater the factory uses was an option that went badly, so I decided to fabricate my own. I also wanted the location so the heater could be used with the pilot seat up or down. Under the sink was a logical location and took minimal space in that locker. A side benefit to having a heater is that it increases the capacity of the closed cooling system and can even provide some heat dissipation if the heat exchanger cannot handle the load for some reason. It just might let you limp into port without calling for a tow under some marginal conditions.
