Received the cab heater.
It is a good quality item. Aurora. New price £280..
I put a remote control PWM speed controller on it so it has step less speed control from a keyfob remote so can be operated from anywhere on the boat.
Need to test the matrix but no reason to think it won't work as just seems good really.
I've also got some little cheap Chinese (foxy likes this) digital thermostat relays in the stores so planning to incorporate that somewhere in the system.
I'm a bit tempted to make a little woodburner I put on the bank beside the boat, with a cope coil in it then a small pump to route the hot water generated through the matrix heater via flexible hose. That would be fun !!

For the take off from the head you should find either an unused temperature sensor or a blanking plug, this will do the job nicely. www.asap-supplies.com/brass-male-hose-tail-connection-418102They do an elbow too, but you may find that an arse ache to fit - I'd have thought it certainly a rocker cover off job. Straight is fine if you have height under the engine cover. Adapt as necessary to your heater I've got to get the hot water sorted on Northern Star soon.

Will have a look around. Is that what they have done on my Beta 90 to achieve a fast warmup calorifier connection ?
There does not appear to be a thermostat on the little Kubota twin in the yot. Not sure if that makes a difference. Next time I'm on board i'll get some pictures of the system as it is quite interesting.
