I happen to watch a different video on installation of diesel heaters on boats in Europe and the installer was warning that all fuel lines in the EU must be copper or steel and not plastic to be allowed in EU waters. I certainly did not know that(not that I would have anyways!) but wanted to be sure that you guys were aware of it when making the mounting permanent. Good luck!
Thanks for the heads up Ken. Yes we are aware of the requirement for copper fuel lines. Our install is just temporary so we can make our fibreglass mouldings in the colder conditions. When we come to re-install the engines and fuel tanks, the fuel line for the heater will all be done in copper pipe. Thanks for watching!
@@boatholic4458 I should have figured you guys had it under wraps but thought I would throw a little worthless nugget of my brain matter your way from a complete boating novice! One of these days I will collect enough of these nuggets to produce a valid idea. Soldier on mates!
Hi Guys I have a Chinese diesel heater in my garage, the one thing you have done incorrectly is to have the exhaust going up from the unit it must always go down from the unit to allow for any condensation to run out and not back to the unit, you should also notice the muffler will have a small hole on the bottom edge which is there for the same reason. Possibly when you permanently fit it you could raise it and install higher than the exhaust skin which you have already permanently drilled through the hull. Also when on the water any splashes will also run out not in . I have had my unit for a couple of years now £79 from eBay best bargain ever parts readily available ,you will be amazed how much heat they put out. During the cold spells such as now I leave mine on 1.7 hertz 24 hours uses hardly any derv good luck with it.🛥👍
Sorry guys is me again, couple of other points the pump needs to be at 30 deg to reduce the chance of air in system , when you shut it down Ouse the control panel only DO NOT CUT THE POWER BEFORE IT HAS GONE THROUGH THE COOLING CYCLE, otherwise you could crack the burn chamber👍🛥
The exhaust out to the side and not the back ? No fenders, dock or nabo boats ??? And cabin air intake in the engine room - doesn't the engine smell a bit ?!?
Autoterm with comfort controller (comfort so the wrong word) Worst product I ever bought. Unreliable no connection in the digital display. The installer and the manufacturer arguing between themselves who and what is causing it to be £1000 of trash

Great informative video guys. Gonna be a beautiful boat. Best wishes.👋
Thanks 👍
Really enjoyed this video, thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it !
FYI you might want to make sure your muffler for the diesel heater doesn’t leak exhaust fumes lots of the cheapo ones do!!!
Thanks Dino, we will check this 👍

The heater needs to be installed above the exhaust. Exhaust needs to be able to leak liquid buildup. How is it working today?
Thanks for the heads up ! Still running fine 👍
It's really just the same as any Chinese heaters out there, with a bit better accessories with it..
The exhaust out to the side and not the back ?
No fenders, dock or nabo boats ???
And cabin air intake in the engine room - doesn't the engine smell a bit ?!?
No room on the rear transom unfortunately. The factory also used a side exit. Thanks for watching
I think the fuel pump works better doen level of fuel tank, allways is wet this way
Good point. We will do this in the final installation
When’s the next video :(
Posted a new video, just for you Matt :)

wrong word) Worst product
I ever bought. Unreliable

The heater has been reliable for us, no experience of the comfort controller though…
@@boatholic4458 hope you don't need to use the 3 rear warranty. Remains to be seen whether ANY warranty existed 🤷
