Xtreme Heaters Boat Engine Compartment Heater | Large 800w Bilge Heater - For Boats Up To 35 | Boat Heater, Well House Heater, Camper/RV Heater, & Marine Heater - Safe Self Regulating Bilge Heater

I have 2 in my engine room. One units fan starts and runs as long as it is plugged in. Had to drill out rivets to disassemble. Moved fan circuit to load side of thermostat. Now fan cycles with heating elements. Not impressed with pop rivets, or fan running continuously. Bought 750 watt Twin hornet for my other boat. Works as it should.

Kept my boat at 50 degrees on the coldest day

Convenient and easy to use compartment heater that does the job right in protecting your boats engine during the cold off season.

Ordered this product from the advise of a good friend and it has been everything that I was looking for. It has been a cold winter this year in Texas and this heater has performed as advertised. Has kept the engine compartment on my boat warm enough that I am not concerned about any engine freeze. It is compact in size and I am glad I made this purchase.

Unit is built heavy duty with a very long cord small and compact puts out lots of heat in the fan will keep it circulating good

This product has high reviews for a number of reasons. First, our boat, 25 ft. Sea Ray is docked during the winter in our boat house in North Texas. We do enjoy using our boat during nice winter weather and prefer not to winterize our boat. This product is placed in the engine compartment to keep the cooling water in the engine from freezing. The heater turns on automatically when the temperature is below 40 deg F and maintains the compartment temperature high enough to prevent engine and bilge compartment. The heater is safe to use in a closed compartment where fuel vapors may be present. We do add fuel stabilizer in the winter and trim down our out drive to drain the water from the lower unit to prevent freeze damage. Very satisfied with the product which pays for itself in a year compared to on dock boat winterization services. The heater must have a continuous 110 V electrical supply to function. Very satisfied with this high quality marine grade heater.

works great on our boat motors for the winter!@

GREAT

I’m using the product as intended, to heat an engine compartment. My boat is 26’ and the compartment is roughly 8 x 8 x 3. The heater is well built. But my boat is not in the water and I have it at home where the hull is not insulated by the water it would sit in. Thus the heater just can’t keep up with the cold Temperatures. I had to supplement it with another heater, and even then it was on a LOT, IT sucked on the power bill. It probably would be fine for a smaller compartment like a ski boat. Or a boat in the water. UPDATE Over the winter of 2021-22 I kept the boat in the water. As I thought, the heater kept up with the cold just fine with the insulation of the water around the hull. And the electric bill was minimal.

Surprised at how small it is. Runs quiet and noticed that the salon floors dont have a cold draft now. Nice long cord.
