RE: Dickinson vs Sig Marine heaters

Carl, thanks for the information. I actually had been concerned not about above the heater itself but where the chimney stack travels between the 2- 45° elbows. I spent some time last week looking through the yacht sales websites looking specifically for photos that show me how the chimney is arranged on other boats. I noticed that several have 12 volt fans that blow on the chimney in the area closest to the "water deck iron" (thanks Fred). I'm going to try to get it right the first time of course, but I'm prepared to rework the chimney until I'm happy with it. I will now also be paying close attention to how warm/hot the ceiling above the heater gets.

BTW, I had a look at your web site, I love your boat. I might even consider a trade.
