Engine Compartment Heaters - Xtreme Heaters

Engine compartment heaters, bilge heaters; call them what you will, these heaters are designed to do one thing - keep your engine compartment above freezing and protect your engine from freeze damage. For as long as we've had engines and circulation systems on boats, people have been trying to figure out how to protect them over the winter. If you live where winters are pretty extreme, then winterization is a given - draining fluids, replacing antifreeze, fogging moving parts, you know the drill. If you live in more forgiving climates, the urge to keep the boat up and running all winter may out weight the prudence of winterizing it. Hard freezes may be few and far between, and the promise of a Steelhead run in January alluring.

Enterprising boaters have been jury rigging winter protection in the form of space heaters, heat lamps and the like. That's why in our area anyway, there is at least one major marina fire every winter.

In the past few years, high quality engine compartment heaters have come on the scene. They are designed specifically to operate safely in an unattended vessel over the winter. Meeting Coast Guard safety standards, they are approved for mounting in your engine compartment.
they are compact, energy efficient and easy to mount, either permanently, or temporarily.
