I use tube heaters for background heat when on board and a fan heater via a time clock to make it warmer when I get up. When not down on the boat the electrics are all turned off and unplugged.

I have a dehumidifier, a fan heater, 600 watt oil filled rad and a 2kw convector.
Fan for quick heat, convector for maintaining heat and over night, OFR on a thermostat in the engine bay as frost protection.
The dehumidifier is on all the time set to medium and adds greatly to overall comfort and provides some heat to the cabin.
Never rated tube heaters very cumbersome and relatively expensive for not a lot of heat.
The OFR has not come on in the last two winters, set at 5°C, while air temp has been -5°.
Dunelm Mill is a good source for leccy heaters at a decent price.
34' boat in sea water.
