Default heating

How do the forced air units compare with the hot water ?

Thank you,
Courtney

A reverse cycle heat pump is the least trouble, but only good until
the water temps drops below 38F or so. I built a gizmo that allowed
me to run it all winter, but it wasn't very energy efficient. Its main
advantage is that you aren't tripping over electric spece heaters
all the time. We have an Espar diesel forced-air furnace for when it gets
colder or when we are away from the dock.

Interested in a discussion oriented towards people who are looking to
live aboard, of ways to safely heat a cruising sailboat at dockside.
