Space Heating from Engine Coolant
My catamaran has two Yanmar 2GM20s, with freshwater cooling via a heat exchanger. The primary cooling loop of the port engine is used to heat domestic water in a Isotherm hot water heater.

I would like to purchase a space heater to run off the starboard primary cooling loop. Any experience with these? Any favoured manufacturers? Any pitfalls?

Sure would make a difference in the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy.
