Jeez Scooter, I feel for you.
I slapped my cat on the rump and waved her goodbye for 12 months on
Sunday afternoon.

You winterized your cat?

That is a sad day. Why not just move south?

OTOH I spent some hours this weekend getting the Webasto furnace on the
boat readied. Not quite the same thing.

I can't understand why more people don't have heaters on their boats.

I'm glad I took care of that when we hauled a few weeks ago - its been
in the twenty's a few times here in the AM.

Now all I have to do is find a berth for next season - our home for
some years is finally getting dredged. This is a big deal because the
bottom is thoroughly polluted, and they're removing all the crud down
to the red clay, then capping it over. Many millions to heal the
wounds of several centuries of abuse. My boat is at "ground zero" and
work is likely to begin in May.

Whats worse is Nutsy and his puppets will be back in full force
tommorow......

yeah I winterized my boat to. Removed the wheelhouse AC and stowed all
the shade canvas. Suppose to be 77 degrees turkey day with a low of 53.


Looks to be perfect sailing and anchoring out weather.

Do you shrink wrap it?

I want one. I looked at the Espar heaters at
the boat show, and the Dickenson diesel heaters.

The Espars were pricey but cleaner installations
and had a draw on the batteries, while the Dickenson
required a flue that would tend to get in the way
on deck--prices were much more reasonable.

How does teh Webasto furnance work? Like
an Espar I presume?

Almost exactly the same, except that Espar seems to specialize in air
heaters; we put in a Webasto because I wanted to to use seperate
radiators for each compartment... like the head, who wants to go into a
freezing cold head compartment and try to get any business done? Not me!

The Dickinson type are a lot easier to install as well as being cheaper
but they only heat up the immediate surroundings... I think you can put
a hoop over the top of the exhaust to keep lines from catching the
exhaust head. Not perfect but it beats freezing!

What model Webasto do you have?
