Sorry for not updating a reply, I stopped getting email notifications at some point. The purpose of this post was to understand a bit more about...
Thanks, this is the information I was looking for. I might just look at a displacement monohulls trawler than. I think I had this assumption that...
Right, I understand that multihulls work best when their hulls aren't deep in the water. But is there a difference between a 10000 lb monohulls...
It seems that most power yachts are either monohulls or catamarans, but I'm curious why exactly this is
As this will be a solar/generator hybrid liveaboard trawler moving at displacement speeds, I'm referring to fuel efficiency. Im wondering if a...
Im interested in building a power aluminum yacht, and I'm curious about the efficiency of 3 thin hulls (trimaran) vs 2 wider hulls (catamaran)....
Perhaps both systems would be useful. For summer - Reverse cycle heater mounted in the salon to cool and heat as necessary (cool air will sink...
To be honest though, after spending a full day researching this, I feel an inboard diesel engine is a must. I can create heat and electricity all...
Perhaps a diesel heater may be more efficient. The trucks I work with use them to heat water, and they are extremely fast. And perhaps they're...
The other solution is to use electric underfloor heating. https://www.warmlyyours.com/en-CA/floor-heating/environ-heating In a 15ft x 4ft...
Thought I might make a small drawing of how I could see this heating system work with a generator. Hopefully its self-explanatory. Honda...
I need to find someone who has actually installed an RV water heater in their boat, vented to outside. I'm not sure how I would provide adequate...
Again, I won't have diesels, I will have outboards. Plus, have you ever owned a diesel truck? I do, and it takes 20 minutes just to get up to...
I think the answer I've come to is, When you're sailing, you don't heat the boat. When you moor for the night, you plug in and heat the boat....
Unfortunately, 0-5 Celsius is also the ambient air temperature in winter where I live. So there's not any heat to be gained.
Also, I must be not understanding the concept of a heat pump. Water in the Pacific Northwest is only about 5-10 degrees Celsius year round. How...
Thanks for linking those heaters Rasorinc. But those are for use in recreational vehicles, I've used them myself actually. I need to find out if...
I suppose a better question to ask you Richard is.... how do people heat their boats/water when they're not moored? Or maybe another way to ask...
From what I've just researched, I don't believe an on-demand system is necessary. Hot water enters a manifold, where a thermostat adjusts the...
I think the best solution, if it exists, is to find an on-demand water heater that burns propane while I'm sailing, and runs on electricity while...
