Never had any probs running Eber on low other than a slight chattering noise which sounds like the fan and I guess a D5 is a thirsty beast . If we had the room for radiators we would go for a rad system using an Eber type heater to heat the water like a home installation . Tim the night watch here h...

We don't need overnight heating. Never use it afloat or ashore, even in mid winter (unless at hotel's expense!). Eberspacher is noisy, uses lots of battery and cokes up if run at anything less than full power. It also seems to make our aft cabin like a dry sauna, and the rest of the boat luke warm....

Just a thought ....... What's wrong with the Eber ?? Out all of them I'd be more comfortable leaving that on over night . The added advantage that there are no burny finger bits and you are heating the whole boat instead of one cabin.

I'm really not sure which is the best form of heating but I do understand your need for night time heating . Another down side of solid fuel if kept burning all night is carbon monoxide build up .Something we were very concerned about .Didnt have alarms in those days tho

OK so two of you are now saying "don't do it"... hmmm... OK. What's the best bulkhead mounted diesel fired one then, that can be installed with its own tank, and doesn't need lecky? Taylor do a lovely slim chrome unit .very expensive tho, They do come up on flea bay often. I think diesel ...

Oo sounds nice. If you have a new enclosure installed, and it still leaks in the same place, will you be able to cope? Withdrawal symptoms started as we left the water :( Hi Jeff Enclosure and leak are separate . The leak is coming around where the front screen meets the side one........ I think !!...

As opposed to Looe's in Cornwall. :D :D still got my leak on the windscreen . That's today's job to try to stop it for the hundredth time . having a new cockpit enclosure made . In off white this time to make the cockpit lighter than with the existing dark blue . it's getting to look more like a Ra...

Hi Jeff glad all is well . Just summin to think about regarding a solid fuel stove ......Soot is a bugger it gets everywhere inside and out . Sails rigging ,decks etc .Dont ask how I know :( I've been told it depends on what you burn... but sorry, I have to ask! How do you know? Hi Jeff Had a woode...

Hi Terry Boat is being lifted at Southdown marina on the Tamar. Have over wintered the boat there for the last 3 years and have really enjoyed the atmosphere there. We have made quite a few friends there too. Always a bit depressing being lifted out and taking the sails off - but then there's alway...

Don't worry, we missed it too as it was blowing too hard to warrant driving 3 hours down to the boat, but some friends reported back on the errant missiles! Hope you have resolved your fuel filtering conundrum and Dartmouth remains free from seagull carcasses. Sadly, our season is over as the boat ...

Towser is a ship

Apparently a firework display is not a reason for refusing planning permission. Stinks of someone getting a backhander or summin
