Frequently asked questions
What makes this the marine kit?
It adds the stainless marine mounting bracket and exhaust adapter, plus the single-outlet 60mm warm-air duct and two cabin vents. These parts are not all included with the heater-only unit.
Is a diesel fuel tank included?
No. Compatible RVD638 and RVD639 fuel tanks are optional and sold separately.
What size boat is this heater suitable for?
Correct sizing depends on the cabin volume, insulation, glazing, climate and duct layout rather than vessel length alone. Ask a marine heating installer to confirm suitability for your boat.
Which controller is supplied?
