Ok so a few weeks before Christmas I bought the extreme 600 watt bilge heater from west marine. I had an email coupon from port supply good for 30% off so I couldn't refuse. Cost was about 400 if I remember right (comparable anywhere) with the 30% coupon I got the west extended warantee plan for the 30% I saved, so total cost was just about 400 with the 4 year warantee.
Its sitting in the engine compartment between the engines, pointed towards the centerline.
You can hardly feel it's on.
it's basicly like an aluminum heat sink with a small computer type fan on low blowing air accross it.
I have a wireless thermometer in the house with the sensor in the bilge sitting on top of one of the motors.
It maintains the temp at 35-40 degrees no problem and has never dropped below 33 degrees(yet)
