Nature's heater right there but it's going down might get chilly no not likely we're
sitting here off Pirates Cove in Alberta Alabama I've had I've had to have a blankie out a
couple of nights but uh it's pretty warm here but hey when we get this boat going I don't
even know which direction we're going to turn it could be left could be right it could be
cold so we're planning on bringing along a heater actually three or four of them diesel
powered welcome to sending vessel Seeker enjoy the video
[Music]
this is where we're going to place the heater [Music] yeah because actually no the plate
doesn't stay out here oh okay yeah yeah so chin yeah I gotta just drill it down there
it won't matter the Bolt's just a little further set in you have a wholesale I do let me think
where it is [Music]
foreign [Music]
it's not like us to install anything the way the instructions tell you to because they
want the exhaust and the intake to both go outside what the tools does is put a piece
of shim in here and holds the whole plate out so the intake air will come from inside
it'll just go around through here the exhaust will go outside and we're going to put the
fuel tank outside so this isn't the mounting plate that came with this unit this is a one
we had from another unit that was donated in but in a much better plate the mounting
plate came from our well Boston the real thing this is the Chinese knockoff of that you know
a Boston mine plate has some thickness to it I like the Chinese stuff and the heater
we're installing is just one of those Chinese knockoffs from Amazon it doesn't look well
constructed but I'll tell you what so far after a whole hour of usage I'm happy with
it if you really want to get it going you go with wilbasto now this is a demo unit been
taken off so it's slightly used but I can't get it to work it's been a bit scrounged together
but maybe I don't have the right pump but no good luck which is unfortunate because
that's the quality here you can tell when you pick it up it's got some meat to it this
thing uh well okay they're cheap and the reviews on Amazon aren't too bad get a cup of hot
water put the tube in it and after it warms up it'll go on a lot easier don't forget the
clamps there's a filter and a fuel pump that go on consult the manual for how far apart
those things need to be in which orientation because they'll tell you things like this
they want that fuel pump installed at an angle between 30 and 45 degrees so far setup the
fuel is going to come through the tank through the filter in the direction has an arrow on
it and then through the pump it's supposed to have an error on it but it doesn't but
the electrical connection is on the side toward the heater so the fuel flows in that direction
metal exhaust that is going on Doug doesn't have any screwdriver inside these ones yeah
yeah you guys with your leather men's and such get a real screwdriver you can come with
a roll of insulation that you can put on there we don't need very much of it insulated but
we're going to use it anyway so I threw from the front we're ready to bolt the puppy on
let me just push the bolts into you
got that snug [Music] that's more than snugs oh man you have to crawl in there and do the
fuel the bump back in there yeah so we're going to put our fuel tank right there on
the outside easy to fill then I think we'll build an aluminum box around it so it'll give
it a you know protection from getting hit and out of the sun too and they give us a
muffler for the exhaust so we'll uh we'll let you hear it one what are you shaking your
head for it's gonna be gone in three months because of salt yeah that's gonna rot it out
we can make a little stainless steel can out of uh I think nothing I think nothing I think
nothing maybe a Flowmaster no
[Music]
sorry
fuel line comes in fuel filter fuel pump and into the heater
plus and minus it should enter oil mode
oil mode primes it
[Music]
thank you
I've installed a second fuel tank is I'm going to use a second heater in the pilot house
that's going to blow down into the half cabin so not installed yet but I might as well get
the tank
in [Music]
[Music]
[Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you
[Applause] [Music] foreign
[Music]
not me I got too many things on the to-do list [Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
foreign [Music]
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
foreign [Music]
[Laughter] [Music]
[Applause]
so that's it now I guess I gotta install that other heater and I'm going to put a third
one up here for the forward cabin and then we're going to still have a circulating hot
water system so if we're running the engine you might as well take the heat off of it
anyway hope you enjoy the video what'd you make today well get out there and make your
