DECK FITTING
FLUE CAP
The “ DP” Cap or the “H” Cap is recommended.
COMBUSTION AIR
To guarantee that sufficient oxygen (fresh air) is available for your heater GOOD VENTILATION IS
ESSENTIAL. It is necessary to replace the air inside your boat at the same rate as it is being
consumed by the heater. THE HOTTER THE HEATER THE MORE AIR IT WILL REQUIRE.
As most boats are relatively airtight A SEPARATE, PERMANENTLY OPEN FRESH AIR INLET
IS RECOMMENDED. This inlet must be at least 3” in diameter.
It is important to maintain a positive pressure inside the boat. High winds can draw air from the boat
and create a negative internal pressure. This condition can cause downdrafts.
FUELS
Wood, charcoal briquettes or similar solid fuels can be burned. Slow burning fuels are
recommended. The use of pressed artificial fire wood may require more frequent cleaning of
the exhaust pipe and cap. Care must be taken not to overfill the combustion chamber.
The
heater is rated for approximately 9000 btu. This will be equal to a small handful of briquettes, or 1 or 2
slices of presto logs at 1” thick, or equivalent sizing for wood or other solid fuels as to not damage the
heater.
