HEAT
The Hurricane diesel hydronic heater is located in the engine room on the port side.
It provides heat by heating water which then runs to various heat exchangers. Turn
on the toggle switch in the main salon
and set the thermostat at the desired
temperature. If the heater does not start or shuts off, turn the switch off, let it sit
for 10 minutes and restart. Once the heaters is running, it will take some time for
the water to heat. Once up to temperature the fans in the main salon and
staterooms will turn on and off on automatically. The potable hot water will also be
available.
The potable water heated with this system can be very hot.
Be cautious
when running the hot water taps or shower.
Check the exhaust port on the stern to make certain that no obstruction such as a
fender or line exists. Let the furnace run at least 15 minutes before turning it off.
Each stateroom and the main salon has a thermostat and there is a switch in the
pilot house. The power to the pilot house heat must be turned on at the DC panel
and then at the switch above your right knee as you sit at the helm.
Engine heat can be used to heat the system. A switch near the main heat control
panel turns this feature on.
