I'm told that there are at least 2 types of boat heater, both of which
burn diesel; one using a blower to disperse the heat and the other
heating a circulating liquid.

What are the experiences of the group with both, please ?

Thank you,

On the Mirage 33 I crewed on, was a propane furnace/water heater. We didn't
use it. In the 2nd year the skipper took it out for whatever reason and it
wasn't installed until he sold the boat this spring. When he was at the
dock he occasionally used shore power for an electric heater.
