I tried to get more information on these from your link; no luck. I can tell you, something smells 'fishy' and believe me, there is no free-lunch when it comes to electric-resistance heating. (Which they seem to be implying in the ad).Has anybody had any experience with these DC thermal heaters 30amp and 40amp heaters ducted and non-ducted running a Yamaha 300 I believe the 65 amp alternators
It’s has its own heat source that’s way they are 40ampI tried to get more information on these from your link; no luck. I can tell you, something smells 'fishy' and believe me, there is no free-lunch when it comes to electric-resistance heating. (Which they seem to be implying in the ad).
The basics; amps X volts = Watts. You can achieve only 3.413 Btu's of heat per Watt. No more. No less...
My guess these are just the 'fan/blower' unit for an add-in, separate heat-source The unit likely gets its 'heat' piped in from the vehicles cooling system/radiator anti-freeze (in essence, these are a miniature radiators). Unless you have an inboard engine, with 'fresh-water' cooling, and heat-exchangers, then these will not work. They will not work with an outboard motor.... Our last boats used a similar set-up for the water heater. Coolant hoses from the engine were routed to a 'heat-exchanger' inside the water heater; in essence, 'free' hot water, taken from the heat of the engine. (It also heated the water with standard electric-resistance A/C current), for use at the dock or when the engines were not running).
In that case, there is something missing; Send us the link, so I can read all their specs....It’s has its own heat source that’s way they are 40amp
