Freezing

[hlb]

Well not much of a problem in Plymouth. But now in Conwy. I dontt want to winterise fully, as use the boat year round.

Green hose heaters on and dehumidifier.

But it's the lazerete end, Bathing shower.

If I was to leave the hot water on, clarifier in the lazerete, cellar thingy, would that keep it warmish, or cost a fortune. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

You wont freeze up sat in the Mud!
Dunno if I,d want to leave the hot water on.

Had boats sat in all Year round in Port Dinorwic and on swinging moorings in Menai Bridge.
Never had a problem.
I,d be more worried on the hard.

Why not a cheapo fan heater with the thermo on the lowest setting.
Stuck in the cockpit with the Laz hatch just ajar?

I know some peeps say they are worried than the heater may catch fire if unattended fore a long time.
Mine is now 4 years old and is on all Winter.
Not for frost prevention just to keep Her warm, dry and cosy.

Tried one of those oil rad things.
No good, fall over if it gets a bit rocky rolly even in the berth.
Litlle flat fan thing is stable.

Doesn't seem to cost much to run.
Set on low blow and low heat.
Just keeps the tent and upholstery dry.
