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

First winter with it. Seems to work fine.

Perfect for my boat!!

I have 4 SOK 206 amp batteries in a bank that I need to keep up over the winter. I had to bring them inside due to the extreme cold and put them on a charger to maintain them. The charger brought them back to the storage voltage and they are doing fine. Then I installed this heater in the battery/ electrical compartment of my RV which is only 120 square feet, and reinstalled the batteries. The heater is running on one of my Renogy inverters. Now the space has stayed 40+ degrees and the batteries haven’t had any issues. Cold weather and batteries are mortal enemies but this little guy came in and saved the day.

Used this to help keep boat heated during the winter. Decided not to take off slip this year as friends told us to try this. Husband said it worked.

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

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.

Used it while trying to figure out how to winterize a boat. Winter storm came through and encountered no problems.

GREAT

Easy to install! Gives me more use of my boat in the winter. I live in the south were temps almost never go below freezing for a few hours and gives me peace of mind that the engine compartment is nice and toasty!

I installed this in a small greenhouse I have to protect it on occasional cold nights we have. I can put it in and forget about having to plug in a space heater. Before if I forgot to turn the space heater off, the greenhouse would get too hot. Great for when we travel. No worries.
