It seems like is you were in rough seas, water would enter the exhaust pipe especially when not in use. Have you ever had water get in that exhaust pipe? Awesome video by the way. I’m installing my Chinese diesel heater over the next few days. Just planning it out before I drill. Thanks!
That’s never happened in 4.5 years. Even of it did there is a “J” bend in the exhaust pipe that would trap it and the heat of the exhaust would very quickly boil it off anyway.
How did you pipe the exhaust out to the hull? Did you drill a new hole or use an existing bow drain? I have a 210 Searunner too and this is exactly what I was look for. Thanks and great video.
I have almost the same boat. Hewes 20’ Pro V ETHT. I really like your instal. That’s exactly what I was hoping for. Is your heater a 5kw or an 8kw? I want the 4 vents like your but I only see 4 vents in the 8kw. Have you had any issues with yours yet?
Good video. I have a Hewes Sportsman 200. Should be a good solution. Do you still get good results? Do you remember the brand name of Chinese knockoff?
Mine does not seem to have a brand-name. I ran it all this past winter and it’s still going strong. That’s five years worth of use now. I can’t complain.
No, I don’t think so. 3 years down the road and it still runs perfect. There are more sophisticated controllers, some even with phone aps and/or wireless remote controls nowadays but for my boat I really don’t need those.
I am looking at this exact setup for a 2021 210 searunner. I have a 44D to install. How did you mount the heater ? My 44D looks about the same size unit. thx
Yes 1 inch stainless flex pipe. I did put a band in the pipe much like a trap under a typical household sink. There is a fitting that connects to the pipe that takes exhaust through the hull
@@Brisco811 thanks for the reply. I think I have most everything for my install. I am going to work on it next week. I’ll hit you up if I have any questions. Thank you
Great video, thanks for sharing

I drilled a new hole. You would not want to use a scupper.
Nice heater setup. Where did you source those gromets for your graph wires? I havnt found a the 1 1/8 size I need.
I bought those at Napa auto
Go to Amazon, you can get a kit with a ton of sizes.

8K is a Chinese falsehood. There’s really no such thing. It’s actually a 5K. Don’t let them fool you.
I have a Weldcraft 20xt. Should work for me. Thanks

Under way and in a rougher waters any problems?
No problems. I can go 40 miles an hour and it works and I can be trolling in 4 foot rollers and it works.
@@Brisco811 thanks!!
Would you do anything different today if you had to install it today? Better model or different installation?
No, I don’t think so. 3 years down the road and it still runs perfect. There are more sophisticated controllers, some even with phone aps and/or wireless remote controls nowadays but for my boat I really don’t need those.

It’s mounted against the fish box in the bow and the floor above it
Did you use 1” flex exhaust pipe? Also, do you have a loop or an upward bend as it exits the thru-hull fitting?
Yes 1 inch stainless flex pipe. I did put a band in the pipe much like a trap under a typical household sink. There is a fitting that connects to the pipe that takes exhaust through the hull
