Quicksilver 605PH — System & Component Overview and Operation
13. Diesel Heat (optional)
The diesel heat system consists of a 3kW heater, a 10L diesel tank providing fuel for the heater, and a
control panel that runs the system.
Operation
Prior to use, make sure that the diesel tank is full. The 10L diesel tank, located in the starboard bilge,
can be accessed via the forward cockpit floor hatch. To fill the tank, first remove the strap holding the
tank in place. Next, remove the cap with the fuel pickup and pull the tank out of the boat. ALWAYS
FILL THE TANK OUTSIDE OF THE BOAT. When filled, re-install the cap, and secure the tank in the bilge.
The diesel heater is controlled by a keypad located inside the cabin by the starboard pilaster. The
panel allows for either automatic control of a preset temperature, or it allows you to vary the blower
speed and temperature manually. There are two heating ducts throughout the boat. First, there is a
closable outlet located at the dash to defrost the windows for visibility. Next, there is a directional
outlet located below the helm seats providing heat to the cabin area.
The heater pulls air from two locations; the first cold air inlet is located below the helm seat and the
second is an exterior inlet located on the starboard side of the deckhouse. Finally, there is an exhaust
outlet located on the starboard hullside where hot exhaust exits the unit.
