heating in cockpit princess V39

[Micke_W]

Hi
Is there any heating on the princess V39 (the model that came 2012) in the cockpit? We will use our bout april-october but live in scandinavia and some
sommerdays can be quite cold and you want to sit upstairs

It would depend on whether heating is fitted to boat , most installations would have an outlet in cockpit but if not its probably easy to add an outlet if heating already fitted.

Not a V39 but I had cockpit heating outlets added to my open hard top boat. Very easy with a blown air system (Webasto in my case), so I would expect that it's feasible. Having canvas bimini and panels around the open part of the cockpit helps keep the heat in.

Looking where the heater location is it’s easy to T into the outlet pipe and into the cockpit area around the port side seating .

Ceramic fan heaters are tiny , cheap and very effective.
I have 2 on my squadron 58 as they are quieter and quicker than reverse cycle ac and they keep the boat nice and warm.

i checked the options list on the newer V40 and found Eberspacher heater outlet point in cockpit area with diverter valve

Very easy to fix if the boat doesnt have it. I did it myself and it didnt take long to fix. Otherwise any decent dealer/yard can do it for not a big cost.

sounds good, I guess it will work ok when you put on the canvas in the back
