Title: Ship Mate Wall Heater
Post by: jwspeck on January 05, 2015, 05:51:20 PM
On my Pearson 323 I have a Ship Mate wall heater (picture attached.)

I have been unable to find any operating instructions for the unit. It smells like it's a kerosene heater. It has kerosene in it and a pump on top. I have gotten it to briefly light but was unable to discern how to control the fuel flow... the knob didn't seem like it did anything.

Does any one have a PDF or advice with regards to it? Honestly, I don't really like the idea of a 40 year old open flame heater being used on the boat... but it's there now and it sure does get cold!
