hey everyone! i wanted to publish this video because i haven't seen this particular type of a heating system on many boats... AND it is very cheap to install and free to run (when you're motoring). The snowy conditions in the thumbnail start in the next video, which I'm already putting together, and we'll get to test this thing even more thoroughly... Thanks for watching!

It's not actually coolant at all - is it. Heat transfer fluid makes more sense - doesn't it. The radiation type heat exchanger is very effective at transferring heat over it's surface area quickly - isn't it. Very nice - share.✌️♥️👍

@@OKuusava The HTF cannot cool the engine.

[@paulkenney5846]

Good idea I enjoy your video’s

With our frosty winters, where it sometimes gets down to 12°C we probably won't be installing one, but I often wondered about installing a car air conditioning unit to cool the boat. It was 32°C at 11pm last week. Humidity around 90%. Note that we do feel the cold even at 20°C, because you become accustomed to heat.

@@anthonyrstrawbridge I found our chandlers only sell stuff labelled "Coolant". Apparently it transfers heat from the engine to water from the sea. Who knew?

[@vernaclevinger5716]

Those of us that have never had boats are interested in everything. The problems like heating and cooling are interesting because we don't think of them unless we're without them.

You are going to love that heater. One thing to keep in mind is to put the bus heater in a location that has clean air, so the fan pushes clean air through the radiator, otherwise the air coming out of the heater is going to be smelly.

[@AlluringArctic]

yeah, i'm glad this locker and the bilge are not smelly! but definitely don't want to suck in the air directly from the engine compartment 🤓

[@matthiasmai9074]

You probably don't have to worry about cooling the Motor to much because the Motor probably will have a bimettal thermostat that just opens up the coolant loop when the minimum Temperatur has been reached. Here a Video about an yanmar Diesel as well at 4:20 it is explained in Detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vZZXyOe7WAp8k

Great video Juho and Sofvi. This trip into the Arctic will be Tremendous.

[@kellygrannis8024]

Not a mess. It's a technical area!

[@Ozziesboy]

yeah I caught that too LOL

That’s exactly what my husband says about the top of his desk.

Hello Johu and Sohvi. I'm a retired sailor from the UK and now only get my sailing "fix" through KZbin sailing channels like yours. I recently discovered your channel and have binge watched all your videos from the day you found Lumi. I really like your channel and while I was very interested in the whole refit programme, I prefer videos of the actual passages and look forward to "sailing" with you from now on. I have sailed where you are now, in the Gulf Islands between Canada and Vancouver Island in 1983 and again in 1984 when I was living in Canada albeit 1000 miles from the sea! I found it to be a great leisure cruising area and had places with pretty names like Secret Cove and Birds Eye Bay. I have also sailed in your home waters of the Baltic but mainly around the Danish islands and southern Sweden. I have also sailed into Stockholm and Helsinki but that was in a cruise liner! I noted you say that sailing KZbin channels centered on southern latitudes attracts more views but many of them are just booze and bikini videos and having seen you dump the Tequila and that you intend to sail in the colder north, I'm happy to think you won't resort to that! 🤞 I'm pleased I found your channel and I hope you'll let me sail along with you. Bye, bye, John

[@AlluringArctic]

thanks John and great to hear about your experiences! welcome along!

[@brandonboand]

So happy to see your staying warm, I have to tell you how refreshing it is to see your journey as the vast majority of sailing channels are of the warmer climate. I really enjoy You sharing your awesome journey ❤

[@miketee2444]

Love the lines on the new Boat. I loved the tank you started this channel on but this one is yours. I'm not a huge cold weather lover and not even a big sailor but when the water is in your blood the respect is all the same. You've got a great channel and I sure hope it does exactly what you wish. Regardless y'all are living that not always easy but very envious life and it shows. Good sailing to both of you.

[@android61242]

I am enjoying the more frequent uploading.

[@NailsofNorway]

You will love this heater! We have the same consept that was already installed in our Finish made Tristan boat when we bought it😉. Ours has 3 vents near the windows and is amazing to use in the beginning and end of each season. It's also great for removing condensation on wet summers days🙂

[@lory2622]

This might be a repost, I can’t find my first post. I am in Campbell River, it’s on your way north. If you want a warm shower and a stay in our guest suite it’s yours for the asking. I would be happy to pick you up and drop you off, we’re minutes from the harbour.

[@KA7ISVtube]

Juho, I enjoy ALL of your videos, both sailing and DIY! You are living the dream my friend. Happy Sailing......

[@danagovang2520]

We installed a similar bus heater in our Hughes 38. Ours was smaller and had a quiet single speed fan. I installed a valve between the in/out hoses to regulate how much went through or bypassed the heater. It was great to have a toasty warm cabin after we anchored. We spent 14½ years cruising those same waters year round, and a heater makes a big difference.
