Main salon propane heater
A Force10 4-12,000 BTU propane heater will provide heat in the main salon. While not quite as clean as a diesel heater, or as classic as the pot bellied stove that we removed, it heats up very fast, and shares fuel with the proposed Force10 galley stove/oven. 22 pounds of propane are stored on deck in 2 new containers. There is a safety valve on deck, and another at the heater location. If you turn off the main propane breaker, all solenoids drop out segmenting the delivery hoses. A copper backing plate will be installed. It will sit 1 inch off the bulkhead, and air will be driven behind it, from top to bottom, to capture as much of the heat as possible.
