Defrost cold weather

[Mr.crab]

Works pretty good, but not perfect

What model are those and where did you buy them?

 

[Mr.crab]

18-AD1 they are 12 volt 150watts on Amazon , I turn them on first then get everything else ready .

 

[Fishtales]

Good idea. May look into but go with a Velcro quick attach as I wouldn't want them there all the time.

if they do pull 150 watts, the two together draw 25 amps. That is a fairly significant battery draw.

That's a nice, easy solution to an annoying problem.

Along with that... is the wiring from the fuse block to the double outlet the proper size? Don't want to risk a fire.

 

[Mr.crab]

The wiring is to the original block under the helm , with 4’ of 10 gauge wire and 30 amp inline fuse.Added
a lot of equipment to this boat, didn’t care how Grady wired boats back then so ran new separate feeders from battery banks.

 

[Mr.crab]

Also only used them when motors are running, because of the large draw. Also have six batteries onboard.
