I know that the standard exhaust for a heater is a skin fitting on the transom with a swan neck to reduce the chances of water getting into the heater. However I was wondering if there's anything in principle wrong with directing the exhaust up and out of the cabin top? I'm asking because I already have a fitting in place for an old drip feed heater which I have removed.
The only serious issue I can think of it that rain could get in, but just as with a drip feed heater it would be capped when not in use.
This would likely be a temporary situation only, as in the long run I want to do a proper installation, but don't have time right now, and SWMBO is threatening to cancel our upcoming cruise if we don't have some form of heating aboard!
