For a small sailboat this is a good choice if you want to minimize
current consumption. We have one in our Maxi 77, and with a small solar
panel to charge our battery we can in practice run it as much as we
want without worrying.

A quick search of some shops here indicates that the cost is
approximately 1300$ these days. I don't know of the availability of
Walls products outside scandinavia, though.

Just another note: this particular model runs on kerosene, not diesel.

oh, oh. This is usually an indication that the unit has small, easily plugged
up holes in its burner.

What kind of holes are you talking about? This is a pot burner.

so, why kero? fuel oil is cheaper and more readily available. also has
slightly more heat capacity.

Don't know, possibly the intended market, which is small sailboats,
often without a diesel engine. If you are really interested, you can
always ask the maker,
