I am considering a boat with Espar diesel heat. Are there any safety concerns to be aware of using diesel heat in a boat.
I would inspect the heater exhaust.
The ESPAR units use a stainless flex exhaust pipe that can get very hot. It is generally protected by a fiber sock, and not running the pipe in contact with your boats flammable construction materials.
Just look over the exhaust installation looking for signs of heat transfer to your boats structure.
Other than that enjoy having a nice warm boat.
