I'm keeping mine going for now. Easy to pop in and out on Rafiki, and better to be safe than sorry.

Remember to take 'em out when going for a run

mine were almost unrecognisible after the belts and pulleys got hold of them
The bang was so loud a guest said she felt us hit something underwater

The engine bay tube heaters stay there all year round as they as permanently fixed, but of course turned off usually towards mid to end of March.

Do folk really take them out!

I'll be unplugging mine and reconnecting the water heater this weekend - If its the coldest March on record then it will be my fault!

Leaving ours in for now and the cabin heater. Better safe than sorry i suppose. They can come out before we go away in April though.

Mine is staying put for now, although the temperature in the engine bay has remained around 10 degrees recently.

Frost on my car windscreen this morning. Is all my fault!

I've unplugged mine today - this week doesnt look too bad weather wise so hopefully no more big frosts.

Not that it mattered anyway - having some work done to the electrics and arrived at the boat today with the batteries disconnected and the 240v tripped off as well. 12v I understand, 240v no need to disconnect - good job its been warm!

It also meant that I couldnt go out and enjoy the sun - despite being told on Thursday it was all done and no problems to report!
