Default Heat exchanger for a boat?

If you have a small cabin on a boat can you get a small heat exchanger
that heats in winter and cools in summer that runs on 12 volts? What
kind of system would you use?



No.

Eisboch


Huh?

For cooling, have a fine mist of water go into the air upwind of the boat.
Just like outdoors in Vegas.

Heating is more difficult, as it takes much more energy. If your boat is
inboard and motor running maybe grab the heat from the motor?

If a device takes 110VAC, use a converter but know that heaters take a lot
of juice to run. If the boat is big enough, maybe a propane furnace? But I
don't think that would work on a 20'.
