Ericson 32-2 Question - Diesel Heating / Espar Airtronic

[Rosco]

Hi All,
Anybody installed an Airtronic system in this model? If so ahead on the install wanted to get an idea as to logistics. Where is best to place the 'furnace' as well as best way to secure it, running the exhaust thru transom (any issue to watch out for). Any insight would be highly appreciated. I have a month to plan, plan and plan again.

Different model boat, but our new (in 2021) Espar D4 puts out a lot of heat. We may have about the same interior volume, so that model heater should heat up your boat just fine. We went with one main vent for the interior with a small branch-off for our aft head compartment. We have not used it too often yet, but the separate fuel tank seems to last and last.
I hope that your sister ship owners can advise on just where to put the outside-air intake as this took some clever work by our installer.

Thank you Loren,
One vent is great to know. We sleep cold so a single vent would do the trick for us.
