Good Value Boat heaters

i will set it up in the shed/workshop first to see how it operates and give it a decent test. Might be possible to run in some solder on the silencer to make sure it is sealed.

I must say i think the world has been ripped off somewhat with the main stream brands that were previously available

no solder ,a guy did it on windermere on a generator i think he killed at least one ,brazing or weld

Couldn't you just run an exhaust sealing tape around the joint? Looks like a good find BP, worth a punt.

That's why people install detectors, no system is fail safe.

Well I have just ordered one. I will set it up in the workshop and see how it goes. Cheap is an interesting word. Sould we use. Good value, Inexpensive or another word.

Did you use the seller based in Liverpool ? I ordered one on Sunday, expect to get it next week.

I do have an old Eber exhaust silencer in my workshop so may use that and I will definitely be using kerosene from the supplied tank.

Not strictly Fumes that Kill it is Carbon Monoxide that is the killer. Lets not decide quite yet that this unit is a killer before it has had a few tests. Mine will be mounted in the engine bay anyway and the air will be drawn from the cockpit above

Wrong tape application then.

Surely a bead of weld around the seam would be easy enough and give a permanent seal.

Should there be some sort of CE mark or other [ insert name ] safety marks ? Feels like those cheap Xmas lights that catch fire and set the tree alight .
