I have a nicholson 32 from 1965, bought it a month ago in good nic and she stil has a working diesel heather from that time era in the saloon. It drips diesel which i torch with a flame and there is a pipe i have to fit on the saloon before use. Also 2 oldschool gimble parafin lights in the saloon both working.
Thanks for that, I'm considering installing such a system on my sailing boat. The location of the heater will be in a aft lock not far behind the rear aft cabin, so vary close in distance. Question how noisy is it, don't want to be left with the choice of either being cold but can sleep or being warm but cant sleep due to the noise. Thanks
The fan is variable speed, and so on lower speeds it is fairly quiet. But the fuel pump clicking can definitely be the sort of thing that can keep a person awake unless it's mounted somewhere sensible
@@confidencesailing Another video on installing these things suggested making sure the fuel pump isn't in direct contact with a hard surface, since that will transmit the sound of it operating through the boat. Suspending it using tie-wraps or thin line would do this, although attention obviously needs to be paid to making sure there's no strain on the fuel lines in and out.
Have to say your boat looks like it needs a very thorough cleaning
This was my thoughts 3 years ago! My Chinese heater still going strong 3 years later 😊
