I know. Such a small battery is not suitable for any forced air heating
system.

doug, a brand new, fully-charged Grp 27 battery will give up about 50 to 60
amps before it is dead. Even more when going to flat dead. That Espar ran
that brand new, fully-charged Grp 27 battery flat dead in about 6 hours. Flat
dead.

of course, it was not 68* outside. More like low 40's.

I suspect you mean amp-hours since amps is not a measure of capacity.

Flat
dead.

50-60AH at the 20 hour rate which is normally how batteries are rated. A 5
or 6
amp draw is much higher than the 20 hr rate. More like a 10 hr rate or
worse.

of course, it was not 68* outside. More like low 40's.

Depends upon what temperature the thermostat is set at, the outside temp,
how well the boats is insulated, etc. Sorry, a Group 27 battery just isn't
suited
for a forced air system. Isn;t really suited for much of a refrigeration
system
either.

doug, I certainly hope no one takes your advice. You are all over the place,
and giving advice your simply don't know is contradictory. Please be quiet.
If you fail that simple thing, I ask anyone who hears your advice to triple
check it with someone who has actually been there.

3,000 amps in battery capacity, dougies. geesh.

dougies, are you related to dog pile jeffies? you talk just as stew ped. Ask
jeffie's wife to help you out here. follow closely, dougies, one step at time.
"amps" when used in the context of boating means "amps used per hour at 12.8
volts". Again, ask jeffies wife to help you understand it. she is patient.
she has to be.

doug, in order to "work harden" the copper tubing has to "work", meaning there
has to be room for the tubing to move under vibration. The idgit surverors you
used did not know the difference between properly supported copper tubing and
tubing hung at on each end, rubbing up against the thru bulkhead holes. You
paid them money to screw with you (makes you glad your insurance company would
finally allow you to send them money) and they did, even if they themselves did
not know the standards.

Replace the copper with aircraft quality rubber tubing encased in stainless
steel cage if you wish. Expensive and useless, but makes you feel better.
That is what you paid money to your surveryors for, to make you feel better.
