Jeff there's heaters that use hot engine water from the exchanger much like water-heaters with 12v fans to push the air, I put them in my FedEx ground trucks they'll run you out of your cabin... check out a company call Millsupply and then Aux heaters. and NO OPEN FLAMES in side a gas boat .. :wink:

Electric is the way to go. I have a Honda 20000i from wisesales.com-$869-no tax-free delivery- that heats the cabin and runs a cruisair 5000btu ac.
ok I'm confused, the Honda 20000i is a generator or your heater?

Honda 200i is a generator(inverter actually) that makes about 13-16 amps power and is very quiet, and runs up to 12 hours on a gallon of gas. ILL RUN SPACE HEATERS AND FANS ALL NIGHT.

Left hand rotation engine typically on port side; firing order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Right hand rotation engine typically on strb side and most single engine applications; firing order is: 1-2-7-5-6-3-4-8

Models L19 and R19 are the exceptions as they run Warner 1.91:1 reduction gears that output opposite to engine rotation. So L19 is the RH firing order and the R19 is the LH firing order.

Position of engine noted above assumes no V-drive application. Rotation is taken by standing behind the engine and looking at the rotation of the flywheel when cranked.

If you can't crank the engine, follow the plug wires: follow the number one wire from the plug to the cap and mark it. Unless you know which direction the distributor rotates, follow the two wires that are directly beside (one on left and one on right) the number one wire on the distributor. If they go to cylinders 2 and 8, it is a RH rotation engine, this is considered the counter rotator. If cylinders 7 and 8 are right next to the number 1 wire, then it's a LH or standard rotation engine.

I have a work boat too, but does anyone really want to hear about a 30 year old 19 foot Sea Ray? Its great for haulin' deer out of the woods in the forest preserve up the lake. You can just sling them over the bow and lash them down for the ride home. :D
