You can thumb your nose at Jack Frost with a diesel cabin heater. Designed and built by boaters who know the need for dependable, safe, dry heat, these heaters are especially popular with boaters with diesel engine installations who recognize the safety of diesel and who wish to limit the number of fuels on board. Offered in bulkhead or cabin sole mounting configurations, these heaters feature 304 stainless steel construction, large view windows, easy removal of burners for cleaning (bulkhead mount only) and can be easily adjusted for fuel viscosity. For installation, heaters require the 3" Deck Cap (Model 6867782), Thru-Deck Fitting (Model 6867790), and 3"Dia. Flue Pipe (Model 7866031).
