Why Heat A Boat?

Homes are currently heated, so why not your holiday home: the boat! If you've boated in Spring and Autumn you'll know how chilly and miserable it can be. Even summer has its moments, particularly at night! Or maybe you've not bothered and laid the boat up instead and only dreamed of being out there on those still sunny winter days.

But more than all of that is the problem of damp that convinces you to fit a heater. Inside, boats are naturally damp. Damp linings, fabrics, damp clothing. It's not only uncomfortable, but creates mould and will even affect the boats equipment.

Fitting an Eberspacher heater will make time afloat that much more enjoyable.

The water heater system has become the preferred option with narrow boats. Much like central heating at home. The Eberspacher diesel burning boiler feeds a pipe system through the boat. Domestic hot water via a calorifier and space heating by radiators or fan blowers.

Space is at a premium on a boat. The miniature size an Eberspacher reflects this. The heater is usually fitted in a stern or cockpit locker and the exhaust led away to the transom, or in motorboats hull side aft. In the centre cockpit sail boat the heater may be in the engine area, and the exhaust led to the cockpit combing, aft or the winches.

Modern motor cruisers offers a high level of luxury and comfort. Heating will be a priority. Most will have adequate domestic water heating from engine fed coil in the calorifier and shore AC. So a warm air system may be the preferred choice. However, if you are not marina based and have no generator then Eberspacher water heater system will be essential for domestic hot water, heated towel rails and space heating through under berth fan blowers.

Please Note:

If you are thinking of adding an Eberspacher heater to your boat it is important to note that Eberspacher recommend using fuel of EN590 standard or equivalent. Using fuels that are not of EN590 standard is not recommended due to there being impurities in the fuel that can make the heater choke up to 3 times faster than normal.

It is also important that the heater has a good constant supply voltage when the heater is in use.
