Thanks Photolomy- much appreciated. I am running one of the Crusair heaters now just to test and see how long - if at all- it heats up the v-berth.

Re: Hatteras Winter Boat Use
And what model Hatteras do you own because there was no 60MY in 1981?

$200 a month electric bill in California. That's probably 3 or 4 KWH.

I have no un-descended testicular issues with cruisairs in 27 degrees and 55 degree water (last week). Will run you outa there in short order. Measured 117 degrees out of one unit at 60 degrees ambient.

Re: Hatteras Winter Boat Use
I'm in Nor Cal too, Stockton and last month I tried to not use the Cruisairs and just use small portable electric heaters. Bad idea. My utility bill shot up to $400 for the month and it wasn't that cold. I gave them to a buddy of mine and now just use the heat pumps. They work great in the San Joaquin river and greater San Francisco bay area.

I’m near Ron and we are at .25 per KWH. However we get kissed monthly by the harbor master. We say if you’re going to F us we want to be missed first.

Re: Hatteras Winter Boat Use
Robert-
A few years ago, we were at Patriot's Point for a few months. I was surprised at the markup on power. I pointed out to the manager that SC had a statute, like GA and NC that made it illegal to mark up power on monthly contracts and beyond when separately metered or submetered. Perhaps that changed, but he checked with his owners and lawyer, and lowered it pretty quickly for the whole marina.. The fines were problematic.
Electricity in the South is usually under $0.13/KWH.
As an aside, Charleston County Property tax people are Aggressive on boat owners. Sent me a huge tax bill, and we left 30 days before the statute kicked in. It was a hassle to prove them wrong.
Anyway, worth checking if that protection still exists.Mal
