Basically all of it! The motors are wired for 24V, the glow plug and all the electronics. It is possible to run it by feeding the whole thing from a 12-24V DC/DC converter, though.
For more background information, one of the best sources is the Letonkinois website - http://www.letonkinoisvarnish.co.uk/Eberspacher_Intro_1.html

P.S. The D1L is a very old model, long obsolete and I believe much of it is now unsuported by Eberspacher, so will have a limited lifespan.

Years ago I bought a 24V eber from ebay. They are cheap compared to the 12V versions. In the end I decided that it was just too much hassle trying to run a 24V one on a 12V boat so resold it on ebay.

Depends on how big your boat is. I would just buy 2 X 12 Volt Batteries, wire them up so they give 24V and you have the answer. (Is it called Series or Parallel) Also you have another 2 Back Up Batteries.

That is an ancient model £175 is very expensive for 24 v.
I have used DC converters on several 24 ebers and they have worked well. You would need a powerfull converter for that model though, probably £100 plus

I bought a 24v Webasto off ebay and also got a 12v>=24v 10 amp converter. Runs absolutely fine, just plumb in the converter prior to the heater unit and a 12v supply to converter and Bob's your auntie as they say!
Converter was about £30 from memory!

You can reduce the inverter requirement significantly by changing the the 24V glow plug to 12V and using a relay or transistor to drive it from 12V
