XTREME INSTALLATION & CARE

Your Xtreme Heater can be installed permanently, or easily installed and removed for the winter, without tools, using our quick release bracket

Our design takes advantage of true forced air, opening up a wider range of location options. The most compact heater of its kind, the Xtreme Heater can also be mounted in any orientation, including upside down. There simply isn’t another product available that offers the flexibility of an Xtreme Engine Compartment Heater.

Basic Installation Process:

1. The Xtreme Bilge Heater comes complete with mounting screws in the box.

2. Choose a location in your engine compartment (view our boat-type guide below for help)

3. Attach the heater with the screws provided or quick release bracket.

4. Plug your heater into a properly wired, circuit protected outlet, or have a marine electrician wire your heater to a dedicated circuit in your 110v distribution panel.

5. Cover any air leaks in the engine compartment to retain warmth. Fresh air vents can bring in cold air and push out heat, so keep the area as sealed as possible. Also, check for leaks that run to the front of the boat and seal them to keep cold air out and maintain steady temperatures for better engine protection.

6. Position the heater near the base of the engine compartment, clear of other components, and angle it toward exposed areas like the outdrive or V-drive, which can bring in cold. Allow some air circulation around the heater to improve warmth distribution and protect these vulnerable spots from freezing.

7.Check Regularly: Test the heater before extreme cold hits to confirm it’s functioning properly. Regularly inspect for wear or damage to maintain reliable operation.
