Autosol Boat Fender Cleaner Review
my old dirty fenders needed a good clean not just a jet wash, this product has a bold claim on its CZcams video, let's see if it stands up to what it says it does.

This is my finished install of the diesel heater in my boat to comply with UK inland waterways boat saftey scheme, if you want to know how i fitted it and what extra parts are needed for the BSS regulations and costs involved, before you decide on buying a heater, then I've a more detailed video on here going through the whole process, thanks for watching. czcams.com/video/T6RUXRuHlto/video.html
How to install a Chinese diesel heater in a boat, for UK inland waterways and the boat saftey scheme
zhlédnutí 25KPřed 4 lety
How i installed my diesel heater in my boat, to comply with the UK bss for inland waterways boats. I show what parts you'll need to buy and where to get them from, giving you prices so you can weigh up the costs. Every install will be different depending on the boat so this is just a guide and what was right for my install. See pinned comment for all the links to buy the parts in the video.

Great install vid, just want to say would the intake be better inside cab to recirculate warm air thus heater wont work as hard
@@darkorkodi3582 yeah deffo 😎 but I was limited for vent space it would also be better if the exhaust ever failed as it'd not suck the fumes in (there is alarms fitted incase that happens btw) but that compartment gets warm from the heat from the heater anyway so it kinda is sucking in warm air, I did think to do what you said after I fitted it if it was a problem but after a few runs and I realised how warm it got under there from the ducting, heater and exhaust I never bothered 😎 the first bit of heater duct that comes from the heater that isn't insulated is also like underfloor heating when you stand in the cabin in socks the floor is well toasty 🤣🤣 but depending on the installation everyone will be different,what you said would be better, rather than dragging cold air in.
This is who I bought it off, if the link has expired just search "boat fender cleaner" should be plenty come up 😎 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315185756160?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yfjzqgc9qbw&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=486wGK5dQP2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Don't suppose you have videos of the canopy from the outside mate.
No only photos, can I add pics to this thing lol 🤔
@@barnsleyboater yes mate think you can had pictures.or add pictures into video mode.
@@jasonduke4451 haha I meant in the messages, but I can not 🫣🤣 I see from your name you are on the Trent? If by chance that's anywhere near Newark you may see me on the river, it's a princess 32 boat, I'll be doing a new video soon as I'm changing the panels in the back under the canopy so I'll make sure to get some outside footage of it in that video 😎
Great video mate. canopy looks wicked.ive just been given a 26ft boat but the canopy is knackered lol. Could you use a good quick glue instead of heating it? Thanks
Thanks 😎 yeah I used a glue for some of the awkward bits like corners that I couldn't get in the heat press, it stuck just the same and nothing has come apart 😎 I used this, although you'd need a bigger tube 🤣 I took the canopy off the other week and jet washed it, it came up brand new 😎 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182720676879?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TUbujQc4RlO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=486wGK5dQP2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I have the smallest one, and have for some time. I use mine less frequently than I should because it’s a complete pain in the arse filling a 5litre paraffin heater tank. Let me explain, as a one handed operation I have to rest it in the top of the can, and then pour the paraffin using two hands to hold a heavy 25litre container. This as you rightly assumed creates the dreaded air lock, and after a small splash of fuel, the funnel remains full and about 10-50% of what I poured is on the floor. Second solution is to pour smaller quantities of fuel into a separate jug, and then using one hand to hold the funnel a few mm proud of the rim of the tank, pour slowly into the funnel. But I find there is so much build up not flowing through that I have to keep stopping, emptying the funnel, and restarting. The process takes forever just to fill 5 litres, and is a complete ball ache. The claimed flow figures (on my unit anyway) are an absolute joke. I will credit it though on removing the solids, and water as promised, however the ‘water’ I discard is saved in a separate container and used to light my bbq charcoal in the summer, so it isn’t JUST trapping water, it’s wasting fuel also. (Just smell what it captures if you don’t believe me). I’m tempted to buy the bigger one like you have but having already blown £27 odd back when I bought the little one I feel slightly cheated that neither the flow rates or ‘fuel in-water out’ claims are true. I’ve never cleaned mine, I finish using and store upside down, before using again when dried out I tap lightly as recommended. 🤷♂️
Will it pull in the smell from the bilge
It would I guess if the bilge smells 🤣 mines bone dry in that compartment so don't get any smells, you could always put a length of pipe on the air in end and have that in your cabin with the air out vent, that would also recycle the warm air, making the heater work less and cabin warm up faster.
@@barnsleyboater thanks
@@jonwallace7015 also if you did that, if anything went wrong with the exhaust and you hadn't got a co detector in the compartment it would stop it sucking fumes into the cabin too.
Great video I've just bought an eberspacher d2 with no fitting kit, have started ordering various parts that would be right fot the Narrowboat BSC. So thank you for the video best I've found on line. P.S Have engine type fuel filter and tap doing nothing in engine room so job done.
Thanks 😎
Hi, do you get any water out from the condensing drain, Did it work? Just that peace of pipe has the same price as the whole heather kit from eBay 😊
No never had any come out 🤣 my exhaust is a short length so if you only have a short run you won't need it, yeah I think that drain elbow was £50 so not cheap, I just wanted to install it by the book as I was making this video but if I was fitting one again in the same circumstances I wouldn't put that in.
Just found your brilliant video, just what I need to install the Hcalory 5kw on our Princess 25, will get the parts ordered
Cracking vid,inspired me to fit the 5kw Hcalory to our Princess 25. Thanks for the links to buy the parts as well.
Not sure they will all still work but hopefully help you find what you need 😎 just so you know it's still going strong only thing I've had to replace was the pump, cheap 2 min job and was back up running in 2 mins lol
sorry for the language but you are a fxxxxxx genius
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers 🥂
@@barnsleyboater im refusing to pay out ridiculous amounts of money for something like this, please do more videos on window covers door covers etc.
I wish I'd done a video for the full canopy I made, but was before I decided to do some boat videos, I did use a heat press for that for the edges as the roller would have taken a rather long time, but used the roller and heat gun to stick the windows in and they have been in 4 years now and not fell or blown off, it's not that hard once you have the material cut to size and the edges done, it's all the little fittings that take up the time. I did each one individually so putting the canopy on then mark one up take it off fit the fitting, put back on and mark the next up and so on, takes longer but you know each one will be in the right spot, took me a full bank holiday wknd in August to do the canopy, I did have the old one to copy tho, I just altered it a bit to my desire. It will save you thousands tho in having one made.
This is one of the best installations I have seen for these heaters on a boat, well done
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic help thank you. I find the most noise comes from pump and the fan. Why do I need a marine exhaust please
You don't need a silencer in the exhaust you can fit it without, but it makes a difference, my mate has a webasco on his boat with no silencer and when his is on you can hear it half way down the marina, mine with it on you can't hear the exhaust unless you are stood at the side of the boat.
Thank you.
Hello pal. did you use the rubber gasket between the heater and bracket . Thanks
Yes, it still needs sealing to the bracket so definitely use it, just be careful not to over tighten the nuts to hold it down to the bracket, it can cause the fan to catch the casing and itl sound like a lollipop stick in a bicycle spokes 🤣
Top man. yeh now i see its there to make it air tight. Cheers pal👍👍
@@sdn1528 no worries 👍
Hello . My boat is petrol .do you have any ideas on what fuel tank i would need for the diesel to comply with BSS.. thanks pal..
Sorry I've no idea on petrol boats it's no something I looked into, I know the tank they come with is no good as it's cheap plastic and degrades in sunlight, you may be best ringing a examiner and having a word with them.
Great vid .. It sounds so noisy . Or is that just on the camera .
It may be because the hatch was open, when the hatch is shut you can't hear it at all, my friend has the same boat as me with a webasco in the same position, he has no exhaust silencer and when his is on all the marina can hear it, my exhaust you can't hear unless you stick your head neat it.
How did you manage to get away with glass bodied fuel filter. My examiner would not even let me have glass bowl type ?
Because it's not in an engine bay, have a look at the pinned post I wasn't sure either as got conflicting info from different folk, I added a link to the correct filter for an engine bay too, the compartment it's in has a bulk head dividing it from the engine bay.
Very nice video! Is there a danger that gases escape from the combustion inlet ( from back pressure?) and back to the compartment where the heater is? Is it safe to suck the breathing air from the compartment?
The combustion intake goes through the bulk head and into the engine bay for that exact reason, it's never happened tho, the heating air it sucks in is warmed up by the heat from the heater that locker gets warm when it's running, the exhaust is fully sealed so unless that failed it wouldn't suck any fumes into the air part, also incase something did go wrong there is a co and fire alarm next to the heater in that locker so if say the exhaust snapped lol they would go off instantly before it sucked enough through to cause any problems.
@@barnsleyboater Thanks really informative!
Thanks, glad it helped, best upgrade I've ever fitted to the boat 🤣 makes it comfortable in the winter instead of having a load of electric fan heaters wrapped in a blanket thinking why am I here in this weather 🤣
Even though this video is 2 years old it's still consistent with today. The heater hasn't changed at all. Prices may have but you'd expect that I guess. Great video that needed to be this long because of the concise information of the content. A job well done and if anyone watching this is a narrow boater I'm sure you would save a small fortune using this system.
Thank you 😍 yes all the BSS stuff still stands and I think the heaters are still the same, they just may have different controllers now, btw it's still working faultlessly and has had zero problems so far, not one error code or false start and zero smoke 🤣 I'm amazed myself really after reading the Facebook groups 🤣🤣 thanks again glad it helped. The links in my pinned post probably need updating too.
The drain off at the exhaust lowest point is it permanently open? Just think about fumes getting into the boat. I'm fitting the same system and the exhaust has to go upwards a little.
It has water in the coil no fumes can escape, there is also a co and fire alarm fitted in that area incase anything should go amiss.
Excellent, and very helpful video. Thank you for all the information. Just one question if I may, where did you get the chrome and glass fuel filter from?
It was off eBay, I didn't add that to the pinned post with links because depending where you fit the heater you can't use a glass filter in an engine bay so I only listed the correct kind which is a lot more expensive, but if not in an engine bay then look on eBay or a local motor spares shop will have them, hope that helps, my links in the pinned post probably don't all work now.
@@barnsleyboater Thanks. So if you can't fit a glass filter in the engine bay, nor a plastic one, can you recommend a suitable filter for siting in the engine bay please?
The link is on the pinned post with an explanation why but it's for the BSS, but this is the link to the proper filter suitable for an engine bay www.melloronline.co.uk/Heater_Installation_Accessories_/10707/Eberspacher_Marine_Fuel_Filter_for_use_with_3.5mm_Fuel_hose.html
The fuel stand pipe and shut off tap is from the same place so if you need all 3 will save on postage, the other items are also in the pinned post with links if you need them too 😍
@@barnsleyboater Excellent thanks, that's saved me a lot of wasted time.
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to attempt making my own cratch cover and your video has given me some hope! 😅😂 just subscribed ⚓️
Let me know how you get on 🙂
@@barnsleyboater I certainly will! 💯
My canopy took me a full bank holiday wknd, it took longer doing all the fiddly fittings than actual making the material to size and shape, they are the annoying part 🤣 it's still going strong tho, washes up like new every spring and no leaks 😍 one of the zips bust last month I got a local seamstress to put me a new one on so it's back to brand new again 😍
where did you get that copper condensate drain off piece?
Sorry only just seen this, look on my full install video, not this video, there's a pinned post with links to all the parts, hopefully they still work as it's been on awhile now, but it was off eBay
@@barnsleyboater No problem, I only posted last week, thanks for getting back to me, I found the piece now on your other video, nearly £50 that's expensive for a piece of micro bore copper and one fitting, admittedly welded. from the picture I'll make one easily enough. does the coil ever need refilling with water if left for months?
Yes they are expensive for what they are, cool if you can make one, maybe make a few and sell on eBay if you undercut the 50 for 40 you will be rich in no time 🤣 I've not had to fill mine back up yet, also I've never seen any water come out so not sure it's needed on my short exhaust I think it's more for a longer run of exhaust 🤔
Brilliant video. Fantastic job on your boat. Many thanks for posting. I’ll be using this for reference on my Dutch barge installation. 👋👍
I've been looking for a video likd this as I've bought a diesel heater for my sailing boat and now hopefully I'll be able to install it to BSS standard. Thanks v. much.
Grunt is designed to remove yellow/brown waterline stains and rust stains from fittings which it does extremely well. This is clearly stated in the instructions. To be fair neither of the hull cleaners here are designed to rejuvenate old tired and unloved gelcoat as in this video.
Very good video
A great test, that has saved me money!!
🤣🤣🤣
Great video ! Only question when you mounted your thru hull did you apply any silicon to it from the inside or outside. Or did u use something heat related Again thanks !!
The fitting came with a gasket thing but I did use some heat proof silicone too to help stop water getting behind it
Hi great video. One question, did you connect the electrics straight to the battery? Thanks
I shortened the supplied wires and upgraded to thicker cables to avoid any voltage drop, the live is connected to a in-line fuse then to a isolator switch, just for the heater, then from the isolator to the battery I used a large battery cable to connect to the battery live, the negative cable I upgraded and that runs direct to the battery bank and straight onto the negative terminal.
@@barnsleyboater thanks for the prompt and detailed reply. It's helping me a lot as is your great video 😊
Glad it's helping, I know its a bit long winded lol but it should cover everything in the video, I did a quick tour video of it when it was fitted thats only 2 mins long haha it shows it running and all the parts so should show electrics on it too I think, it's been a while since I watched it 😆
Great information and costs, So very pleased with all boat specification’s Was think of buying a all in one unit with built fuel tank, But have changed my plans Going to look at eBay this week. Thanks 👍👍
Yeah the all in ones are no good for boats, I think the link to the one I got is still live in the pinned post, it's still going strong and been faultless so can recommend that highly now.
I just want to say what a cracking job you have done on this project and want to thank you for all of the knowledge you have shared. I fitted exactly the same heater on my boat and although I didn't use any of the exhaust pipe supplied and did use a quality skin fitting with exhaust lagging etc, I didn't swap out the silencer and I haven't put in the right quality fuel supply system. The guy who runs the marina told me the boat would now fail its safety, because of the way I installed the heater. Because of your work, I now know what to do in the New Year to rectify that problem, in-fact I have ordered all of the parts, ready to do that job. Thank you for everything....Derek
Thank you, im glad you haven't used the silencer they come with as they are not sealed and would have leaked fumes into your boat, glad it has helped thanks again :)
Absolutely great video Thankyou just a question if you don’t mind regarding condense drain as I’m getting mixed messages. my exhaust run is about 700mm inc silencer (I’ve heard that if it’s under 2metres you don’t need to use one??) any help would be much appreciated
My run is probably the same length as yours and I've never seen any water come out of it so it's up to you I'd say, I just fitted one for peace of mind but at 50 quid it's defo up to you.
That's a proper Barnsley accent - t'owd lad :-)
Haha cheers, no hiding that no matter how hard you try lol
I'm jealous of all the room you have to work with. But that's Motorboats.... Same size sailboats have less room. And I am working with 22 foot. Haha. And boy that list of materials really helped me, especially that L plate for the engine. I bought one of those carry options with the built in tank and all, but it didn't fit anywhere so I took it apart to get to the heater and fit the tank elsewhere, but the mounting plate was missing. Can't blame anyone because you were supposed to use the frame with the feet... Oh man, I wouldn' have thought of an L plate. Obvious solution, but I was thinking DIY with wood somehow.... Ordered some parts now. The only thing I chuckle about a little is how you pronounce Eberspächer. As an english guy you definitely aren't at fault, but the german in me knows you are not even close to how you say it haha. Anyways: Warm winters and thank you for the video!
That will be my northern, Yorkshire accent 🤣🤣🤣 I'm surprised anyone can understand me without subtitles 🤣🤣 glad it helped 😀
Sorry to bother you again, I notice you don' use a copper fuel pipe at any point, I think you're 'getting away with it' because you've got such as short run from pump to heater, so it's not absorbing too much of the 'pulse'. I'm going to install this weekend, I am running a much shorter line to my tank but a 5mm bore. Your run is a long one, with 'flexible' pipe. As far as your install is concerned, you haven't seen any fueling issues?
The bss changed the rules so it doesn't have to be in copper as long as the fuel hose is rated to the iso7840 standard, which the one in the links is, but the smallest ID they do is 3.5mm, think the crap pipe supplied is 2mm, ive had no issues at all with the pipe I used, from tank to pump is about 2m tops then a short bit from pump to heater, ive never had a error code or any problems at all yet and it's now been in over a year, I go to my boat turn the isolator switch on, press on on the display and off it goes 😆 it amazes me to be fair 😆
@@barnsleyboater if you're ever in North Wales and fancy a sail or just a pint, let me know, I owe you, thank you very much for all this info.
Its no problem just be aware that 5mm ID pipe may be too large I think from tank to pump is OK but from pump to heater it may be too large and cause fuel issues, im not 100% sure on that as my memory of it all is getting foggy now as time goes on lol but bear it in mind incase issues arise, something is telling me in my tiny brain that 4mn is the max ID but I could have dreamt it 😆 let me know how it all goes, I'd also avoid priming it with the controller as most folk end up flooding the heaters and causing all kinds of problems, if you can manually prime it to the pump, then just turn it on it may fail a few times first but it will go, better to do that than flood it.
@@barnsleyboater I have got 5mm pipe to go from tank to pump but its a very short run, barely half a meter, if it proves a problem I will swap it. I plan to prime with the pump but with the end pointing at a bucket then once the system is full attach it to the heater. Might be tell tail if it's struggling with the bore
Good idea it won't flood then :) I carnt see any problems there :)
excellent, I have just bought a boat and want to fit one of these.
This video gave me the confidence to install one in my westerly centaur. Will get a y connection to run heat into main cabin and also into forecabin where it can get quite cold. Thank you so much for the measurements on all accessories and what replacement parts i will need. Your set up is so good. Thank you again...
Thank-you :)
Did you do it yet? Where did you fit the unit? I have a Westerly Cirrus and was thinking under the quarterberth bunk. :) Of course it's a difference between a 22f tboat and a 26ft boat, but Westerlys are sort of similar in shape and one can get ideas from bigger/smaller boats.
Can't get my head around how the standpipe seals in the tank with no internal access, I've found the eber' part and it says it has this feature, but how!!!? I'd also be very surprised if you really need that condensate drain with such a short exhaust run. Really appreciate the video though, thank you.
The plate wiggles in to the hole then you tighten the nut on the outside that clamps down to the tank with rubber seal, sealing it if you look on the eberspacher marine install instructions there's a diagram showing you
@@barnsleyboater thank you, I'll check again I couldn't find a diagram. Does it expand like a fitting in a brick wall?
Theres a metal flap that goes into the tank with some wiggling then on the outside is a rubber seal and round metal bit to cover the hole, the nut on the outside tightens it all together so the flap on the inside grips the tank and the rubber seal and round bit clamps the outside stopping any leaks
@@barnsleyboater ah! It's the wiggly flap detail that I've missed! That makes sense. Thank you. I can't find that size fuel line from that supplier anymore, Mellor only sell it in very short lengths. I will keep hunting. Thank you.
Its there www.hoseworld.com/5mm-3-16-i-d-marine-fuel-hose-mfh-035.html
Thanks for the informative video. I'm a sailboat liveaboard and am hoping to get my heater installed before the Michigan winter sets in. Was really hoping that the deisel tank pickup install would be chronicled but oh well. Did you run into any hiccups drilling into the tank? And also, have you gotten a feel for how much fuel you're burning?
The diesel tank pickup install is in the video all be it brief, it was hard to film and do tasks, I need a camera man lol but I felt it didn't need too much detail as it really is straightforward, if you put some grease on the hole drill bit it will make most of the bits stick to the drill bit as you cut, stopping your fuel getting contaminated, obviously you won't get it all but youl get the majority, I also had a friend hold a hoover as I drilled this also sucked up the bits as it cut through, other than that there was no problems and my tank was full of fuel when I did it. Hope this helps.
I've had the heater running for weeks at a end running on high and low non stop on trips and at first I was concerned for what it may be using but when I first filled up from a week away I noticed no real difference in what I put in for the same trip before without a heater so now I don't really worry about the fuel it uses as its minimal.
@@barnsleyboater all good info, thanks again.
No problem thank you :)
Nice
I'm not going to watch it all but I know anything you put your hands too turns out perfect Dean
This is the website for the good quality material, they do other kinds too, there is a video on this link showing the quality of it, you can pick the colours and different sizes. www.attwoollsmanufacturing.co.uk/680gsm-pvc-coated-polyester-width-250cm/ This is for all the different kinds of fasteners and tools to fit them, each different style of fastener has a different tool, all are smacked with the hammer tho 🤣🤣 ebay.co.uk/usr/jclarkemarine This link is for the cheaper quality I bought just for the hatch cover. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATERPROOF-HEAVY-UV-PVC-VINYL-COVER-MARINE-INFLATABLES-BOAT-CAR-COVERS-FABRIC-/332155276964?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
It really is easy lol if fiddly, the canopy I made I know isn't perfect and could have been tighter to get it crease free but no one knows till you tell them so it carnt be that bad 🤣🤣🤣 and 250 quid and a bank Holiday wknd of my time is not 4 grand 😉 🤣🤣
See your exust how it’s running on the side of your boat. I have a yacht so she sails on her side sometimes up to my windows would I be best running it out the roof. Or where is the best place to run it.
These are a copy of the eberspacher d4 heaters so if you Google the eberspacher d4 marine instalation manual it should tell you as I think it covers sea boats too if I remember right I think its out the back, going out the roof would be too high for it to push out the fumes and would cause back pressure, but I'm not 100% sure on that, but that eberspacher marine install manual should cover it, thats what I followed for this instalation with adjustments for the uk laws, hope that helps.
@@barnsleyboater thank you mate I’ll look this stuff up tomorrow morning thank you 🙏. Just mine definitely can’t go out the side what sort of boat have you got mines a sail boat ⛵️I’m in Isle of Man 🇮🇲 so same sort of laws to be fair
I've a princess 32 it's a coastal cruiser but closest to sea I get is the humber lol im on the inland waterways, the exhaust has a swan neck on it so that no water can enter it from the outside and it has a condenser drain fitted at the lowest point for any condensation to escape, but I dont know how effective the swan neck would be if the hull fitting is submerged 🤔 ive another video showing the full install of this with all the extra parts you need for a boat install, but defo have a look at the eberspacher manual too.
This is the marine install manual www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.butlertechnik.com/downloads/Eberspacher_heater_Marine_Installation_Guide_Airtronic_D2_D4_%26_D5.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjT1qn699jvAhWDh_0HHVkaCWoQFjAAegQIBRAC&usg=AOvVaw1MXQPyJgc-UDYWQAOSAebL
My exhaust is in the stern. It melts fenders so watch where your dingy is as well.
where did you get the rubber mount for the pump?
It comes in the kit with the heater, the silicon coasters I used to attach the rubber mount to the bulk head I got off ebay for about £3.
great video - I am going to be doing something similar on my boat this summer (Hopefully) just getting various parts together - Can you recall what size holesaw you used on the exhaust skin fitting ?
My exhaust fitting had a 35mm bit that went through the hull so I used a 38mm hole saw then filled the gap with heat proof silicon just for extra protection but it was overkill as it doesn't even get warm lol www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232318806923
Thanks for that much appreciated
Thank you very much for this video. Much needed especially as you have taken the BSS requirements into consideration.
Hi great video just brought all the parts needed just have a question about the EXHAUST DRAIN ELBOW. Do you have to put water in the coiled pipe?
Yes, when its fitted before you start it, fill a large cup full of water then lift the cup over the coil to the top of the pipe then lower the cup the water will be trapped in the loop and stop and fumes coming out, dont do what I did haha I started the heater the smoke shot out the pipe like a steam kettle I then lifted the cup of water over it and it stopped but it set all my alarms off haha so dont do that.
where did you get the exhaust drain elbow
I had already done quite some preparations for an installation of a diesel heater in our boat when I found your youtube video. Except for the fuel filter and some exhaust and hose clamps I had already ordered most parts via eBay and Amazon :-). The challenge is to get the exhaust system gas leak free. After watching your installation I got the confirmation that I am already on the right track. Thanks, Walter.
Not a problem glad it helped you :)
Great Video. Thanks. I'm thinking about to install this kind of heater in my 38" Classic Dufour. Your list of quality parts is very useful for a beginners. PS : very hard for an Italian to catch all your English words..:-)
I do apologise even English people have trouble understanding my accent 🙃 😄 I'm glad it helped a little :) 😃
