RE: Dickinson vs Sig Marine heaters

Hi guys, just a little update on my heater decision. I went with the Dickinson Antarctic and did the install starting in January (fuel and electrical), then went home and built the pedestal and teak fairing block. We arrived back at the boat last week and I installed the pedestal, then finished running the wiring, fuel supply and return lines, all hidden in the pedestal. I then mounted the heater unit and made all the final connections to the heater and fan speed control. Finally, I cut a hole through the upper deck, carved out the balsa coring around the hole and filled with FG putty. I installed the teak fairing block and deck flange and completed the chimney.

Start up went without a glitch and we now have heat to spare.
