My 1 year old Cummins supplied block heater shit the bed last week. Exchanges with Tony Athens have convinced me not to replace it as its design is inherently faulty and unsafe.
I like warm engines and a dry engine room and in previous boats used Wolverine oil pan heaters affixed to the bottom of the oil pan to gently warm the engine and keep the engine room dry.
When we looked at it last year we didn't see an easy way to get under a low set QSM, sand the paint off the oil pan and then be able to correctly stick the Wolverine onto the pan.
Anyone have a clever solution how to install a 5" by 7" sticky pad on the bottom of an engine with only a few inches clearance between the engine and the hull?
