Cockpit drain heaters
 
12 months ago I fitted cockpit drain heaters, powered by a kubota
2.2Kw marine generator, for a planned trip into Antarctic waters. This
trip has been cancelled and I have subsequently removed the heating
elements from the stainless drains (which are forsale as new), but I
have kept the generator. This gives us a tremendous amount of
electrical power that we are having trouble consuming. We have always
been carefull with electrical power on board, and as such have missed
a lot of the wonderfull gadgets that are now available. We now have
the following, and I consider invaluable, electrical appliances:-
knives, microwave, hairdryers, toothbrushes, frypan, breadmaker,
slowcooker, but I am sure there are things we have missed, that would
improve our boating quality of life. Any ideas.

Bryan

tunes enhance all boating experiences, and I'm not talking about the
rum-marinated geezer wheezing out some salty dirge/shanty/fillinyerown
in between emphysemic spasms on a gob-dripping harmonica in the cockpit
of the s/v ****Tank anchored upwind and across your rode, or
-gOd-hElp-Us-aLL- Tom Jones "music" played at 3am by gin-soaked
55yearold bimbettes on the 55' SeaRay alco-barge parked so close it
blocks out the friggin sun

to avoid unfortunate occurences such as these you need equipment, and
these items may even heat your cockpit drains as well.

submitted for your approval

Item 1: accept NO substitutes

Item 2: once again, BEWARE of imitations

Item 3: and finally to feed the CORRECT sonic input into the above

these items should fulfill your excess power problem

Put an air conditioner in your head so you won't miss getting the thrill of
sitting down on an ice cold toilet seat. ; )
