Hi All,
New to hear and i feel i maybe going over old ground but we have a new 60ft widebeam that I'm about to start installing heating/rads/calorifier. We will be living on the boat full time once she's complete and I initially thought putting a webasto/Eberspacher diesel heater with a twin coil calorifier would be fine, however I've seen a few comments about webasto/Eberspacher being more aimed at 'leisure' use and short cycling, not lasting long etc. I've researched bubble PJ/Kabolas (dont like the idea of 230v, we're not on a mooring but equally wont be moving everyday for battery charge off the engine). Also heard about Hurricane but bloody expensive.
Really im looking for anyone's opinion on running a webasto/Eberspacher on a full time liveaboard (thinking about 4 rads). How likely is it to break on me? Any tips for looking after it and extending it's life? I've seen the issuers around short cycles and in summer leaving a towel rad on low to stop the short cycles.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks!!
