I had a diesel air heater on my 1995 SM before I sold it recently. It is installed in the cockpit main port locker tucked up under the top of the locker. It is difficult to access once installed since it requires complete removal of everything in the locker. The diesel exhaust is through the hull. I didn't use it much given that I was always in warm climates. But I did use it in South Africa. It has heating tubes running to the main cabin from under the galley area and exiting under the companionway stairs and to the aft cabin via the engine room and aft head. Since I rarely used it, the two tiny diesel fuel filters would clog up when not in use and needed to be cleaned before first use. One filter is on the diesel heater and one is on the fuel line in the engine room where it connects to the main diesel fuel line. Regards Bill Shaproski

Hi Paul!
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
We had a webasto 10kw hydronic water heater on our previous Beneteau 50. We sailed in the Baltic winter and the boat was pretty warm in all cabins, even the temperature dropped under zero Celsius. We are planning to install the same heater in our SM 2000, before we sailing up north to Greenland. In our Truck, where we lived all the year, we had very good experience with the Planar 44D, a air van heater from Russia. All the best Stefan SV OYA, SM 373 Le Marin / Martinique sailing.oya Stefan Deerberg Geschäftsführer Deerberg GmbH Unternehmer/ Entrepreneur Velgen 35 29582 Hanstedt Germany Mobil: +49 172 7757444 stefan.deerberg@... www.deerberg.de

Paul, on my A55, Amel installed the Webasto Thermo Pro 90. It warms up the boat nicely and quickly. Given that your boat has less internal volume, I would think the 9 KW is enough. The heat exchangers are Kalori Silencio (in the heads) and Silencio 2 (in the salon and the cabins (if I recall correctly). The Silencio units have a second, booster speed which is very nice. I attach some materials for your reference. I hope this helps. Cheers Joerg

Hi Paul,
the M12 is installed in my boat but it is a older one, the control units now more different. I have a switch on/off close to the Generator switch in the galley and a temp regulation in all places as also a switch close to the vans at the heat exchangers. I have them marked in the pictures.

I'm lean towards the Webasto 9 Kw, a bit small if one follow the guidelines from the suppliers, but I do not need room temperature all over the boat, if I can keep 17 degree C i most of the boat, or 19 in the saloon and 17 in the after cabin, and keep the front cabin closed. I'm happy. it's another 1 k€ to go up one size! Paul SY Kerpa SM#259 -- Arnold SY Zephyr SM203

It is in a good position in the upper area of the storage space (behind the backrest next to the electric winch motor and switch box) and the expansion tank is placed there with a hand hole with a lock and can be filled from the outside (cockpit).

These are plate heat exchangers with a fan. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the installation, only the cockpit and the backside of it! Left to the Autopilot!!

Hi Paul,
I have an Eberpächer Hydronic heater on my SM with an outlet in all cabins, saloon and cockpit. The heating is also connected to the water heater, which requires an Isotemp with 2 heating circuits, a motor and diesel heating. This guarantees hot water preparation even without a motor under sail. We particularly recommend the outlet in the cockpit, which with a closed cockpit ensures a very pleasant temperature in the steering position. Also staying in the cockpit, eating ... is very pleasant. The heater was housed in my cockpit storage space and can be individually regulated in all areas via thermometers. I am very satisfied with this heater, since I already had both air and water heaters on my other boats, I would recommend the hydronic (water heater).

Plan a trip to Nordkapp next season and need to install a diesel heater in our SM (we do not have the forced ventilation). I have searched on the forum but did not find the information I was looking for. Location of a diesel heater could be in the engine room or in the large cockpit locker. You who have a diesel heater where is it located? One could choose either air or a water distributed heater, advantage with the water distributed heater, easier to install the water pipe, but the heat elements takes large place. the hot air heater duct takes a lot of space as diameter is 90 mm or about 3½ inch. So would very much appreciate you experience and recommendations when it comes to install a diesel heater Paul on SY Kerpa SM#259, Lagos, Portugal -- Arnold SY Zephyr SM203
