Shaun85 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I could quite happily attach the calorifier to the bulk head in the engine bay but how do I mount it onto the swims? It’s got the standard brackets(mounting feet) but not happy with drilling into the swim for obvious reasons. Any help with mounting ideas would be appreciated Edited January 28, 2021 by Shaun85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle Days Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Perhaps glue treated wood battens to the swim or a suitably sized marine ply sheet and then screw your brackets to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun85 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I did think that just wanted to see if anyone else had that as a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy D'arth Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Get brackets welded on, done properly, done once. Its too heavy to risk a shaky mounting. Do consider that mounted higher than floor level, the weight will have a big influence on the hull heeling that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
