19. Diesel Heat (optional)

The diesel heat system consists of a 3kW heater, a 10L diesel tank providing fuel for the heater, and a
control panel that runs the system. The diesel heater, located on the starboard side of the aft berth,
can be accessed by removing a panel located on the port side of the heater cabinet.
Operation
Prior to use, make sure that the diesel tank is full. The 10L diesel tank, located on the starboard
forward side of the bilge, can be accessed via the cockpit floor hatch. To fill the tank, first remove the
strap holding the tank in place. Next, remove the cap with the fuel pickup and pull the tank out of the
boat. ALWAYS FILL THE TANK OUTSIDE OF THE BOAT. When filled, re-install the cap, and secure the
tank in the bilge.
The diesel heater is controlled by a keypad located on the starboard side of the cabin. The panel
allows for either automatic control of a preset temperature, or it allows you to vary the blower speed
and temperature manually. There are two directional heating ducts located on the diesel heater
cabinet providing heat throughout the cabin area.
The heater pulls air from two locations; there is a cold air outlet is located on the aft corner of the
heater cabinet and there is an exterior outlet located on the starboard side of the deckhouse. Finally,
there is an exhaust outlet located on the starboard hullside where hot exhaust exits the unit.
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for complete instructions and warranty.
Exhaust gas is HOT. Ensure that there is nothing that is
susceptible to heat damage (i.e. ropes, fenders, other
boats) within 200mm of the exhaust outlet.
