Specification: Xtreme Heater

Specification Details

TRUE FORCED AIR HEATING circulates air more effectively, heats more evenly for more accurate climate control.  Other “radiator” style heaters rely on convection, leaving cold areas in the engine compartment.  Forced air assures a more accurate and consistent temperature in the entire engine compartment.

AUTOMATIC THERMOSTAT turns heater on at 40°F and off at 55°F +/-3° the tightest tolerance on any bilge heater on the market. Other heaters have a 5° tolerance in their thermostats, which can result in a inaccurate reading and inconsistent temperature control.

FAILSAFE DESIGN cannot overheat. The temperature-limiting characteristics of our heating technology is dynamic and self regulating.  Other heaters have no way of limiting their temperature should something go wrong.  Read more about how our PTC-based heaters work.

HIGH EFFICIENCY your wallet will appreciate.  Xtreme produces heat faster, circulates more air andshuts off earlier.  Less run-time, means less money out of your pocket.

PRE-WIRED 20ft marine rated power cord with 110V 3 prong plug eases installation.

QUICK RELEASE BRACKET Works with all Xtreme products produced since 2004.

MAXIMUM LIFE Every component has been selected with superior MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) ratings to enhance durability and reliability in the marine environment.

Engine Compartment Calculator - Cubic Feet

Do not take out volume of motors or other equipment from the cubic feet of the engine compartment space - remember we are trying to warm the metal on all components in the engine room.

NOTE: The above cubic feet are guidelines only and are subject to climate and type of boat, please consult your Xtreme Heater dealer or email us directly for fitment for your specific boat.

For a boat that is stored out of the water on a lift, or on a trailer, you should add around 100 cubic feet to the total volume. This calculator is not a steadfast rule - Please make sure to lean toward the side of safety.

Additional Support Information

It is kind of confusing when we say the Xtreme 600 (large model) will produce 800 watts. It will - in certain situations, such as when the air temperature is low enough inside the engine compartment where the heater is in operation, that in order to maintain temperature, it must use all of its dynamic capability to maintain temperature. In that scenario, it will call on more power to do so; right around 800 watts.

This is because it is a variable power device, which Xtreme offers over other heaters on the market, which offer a fixed resistance technology. It is good news for the user as the converse is also important; if something should fail (such as the fan), the Xtreme heater will regulate itself while the other heaters should be able to cook food.
