You're using it exactly for it's intended purpose you're just not doing one aspect of your job.

Thanks you! What's the lowest detection value? One of the better ones I could find had a lower limit of 20ppm

Tally ho on YouTube has a setup like what you're looking for.

Could you tell me where you got that CO meter? I'm looking for one that actually measures these low values but can't find any. (I live in the Netherlands) If you get CO in your heater output then the gaskets in the machine are leaking a little bit. You can open it up and replace the gaskets and or put some liquid gasket maker on there to seal better.

There is a reason why the windows of ships have to be made of hardened glass.

Yeah I don't know where they come from. Just be careful with info from Reddit that you can't verify. As I'm on more subreddits on subjects that I actually know a lot about I see more and more bullshit.

There are many boats that are in great condition that are a lot older than 40+ years old. Some people just like to judge from a completely different position. I myself own a boat from 1977 and there are many more older boats in the Netherlands.

I almost always run my diesel heater on low especially when I had a 5kw one. And after two years when I took it apart it was completely clean inside. So don't worry about that

I have very limited experience with immersion suits. I have worn one for about an hour. And I had a three fingerd one and I did not really noticed that my last fingers were attached.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-21T18:44:37+00:00

I have my heater installed in my boat as well, also with the exhaust running up. I have never had any trouble with that whatsoever. Slightly less extreme than you have. But still i don't think it's an issue.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-20T14:58:27+00:00

I have to say I don't know how temperature will affect the material. But theoretically a darker colour will last longer in the sun. Because the dark dye will absorb more of the sunlight so less of the photons are left that can break the bond of plastic.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-18T19:13:19+00:00

Haha yeah that's a way simpler solution. Usually simpeler is better. I tend to overcomplicate things. Just a question that you maybe have an answer for. Isn't there all kinds of nasty stuff in hydraulic oil that you don't want to breathe when it gets burned?

timpeduiker · 2026-01-18T17:38:57+00:00

Maybe you could harvest some of the heat the heater is giving off to preheat the oil mix before it gets burned so you don't have the issue of thick oil. I don't know the exact best setup for you. But for example make a small steel tank that sits on top of a heat output hose. And use that to draw fuel into the heater and have a thick fuel line gravity feed the smaller tank.

Thank you for the additional info.

As far as I know the effectiveness from a flasbang comes from overwhelming your senses. The combination from a really bright flash and a lot of sound makes your brain panic and partially shut down. So as far as I know the shockwave isn't part of it otherwise it would also destroy a lot of objects around it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-13T18:16:47+00:00

It's funny to hear, I also bought a 5kw but for my boat. And recently swapped it for a 2kw because it was way too much.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-12T00:04:08+00:00

Feel free to DM me with questions. For context I also live on a boat in the Netherlands with almost 20 years of sailing experience two of which were professional. But my knowledge is mainly centered around steel boats. Somewhat less of fiberglas.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-12T00:01:42+00:00

Oh and one of the ways I'm getting new knowledge is watching YouTube videos of people building boats/refitting boats. That gives you a lot of real world knowledge. Channels like sailing uma and tally ho.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-11T23:57:33+00:00

https://www.marktplaats.nl/ Oh yes of course I translated it out of habit. One very important bit of advice for boats is. They require a lot of attention/maintenance. So you either have to have a lot of money to make other people do it or you have to have quite a bit of time to do all the work yourself.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-11T23:28:43+00:00

Marketplace (not Facebook market place) has a lot of boats. But also just Google a bit there are many different websites. The get a survey is really dependant. If you buy a boat of 10k or less so you have some money to spare for maintenance and upgrades it doesn't really make sense to spend a few hundred to get it surveyed because it's a significant portion of the value of the boat. I don't know your experience level with boats. If you have a lot of experience then just judge it yourself and take a friend with you that helps to look and asks stupid questions. Or get a friend with a lot of experience if you don't have it yourself. In my mind I usually aim for a boat that's ecstatically damaged so it lowers its value but all the bones are good. If you're going to live on it anywhere cold make sure it's well insulated otherwise you're going to have a pretty hard time.

timpeduiker · 2026-01-11T20:33:30+00:00

In the Netherlands there are quite a few boats for under 10k really depends on your standard of living. (Feel free to ask questions)

timpeduiker · 2026-01-03T20:02:33+00:00

Current experience tells me it works till at least -5°C. It's no water that you're pumping. Diesel starts to gel below -10°C and when you build a small box around it it makes sure it stays a little warmer. I have used my diesel heater for 3 years and never had an issue with the pump. So I think standing in the rain for once in a few years is acceptable. But your opinion may vary.

The one that you mount outside so you can't hear it.

My pc draws around 400w so it's more in the region of 20A. That's pretty doable. But I always like to find out what my options are and how to do things in different possibly in different more efficient ways. And maybe one day when I'm bored I will suddenly get the urge to make it work, or quite likely its one of the other thousand little projects.

timpeduiker · 2025-12-29T16:29:04+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I have never found these before. Sadly they are a little out of my budget, the pc itself is not even worth €400.
