The heater installation remains essentially the same, except:</div> <div>     a) The air inlet is removed from the vent cowl in the cockpit, and </div> <div> all the plywood covering is discarded</div> <div>     b) The air inlet hose can be rerouted to a duplicate engine inlet </div> <div> cowl on the transom. However, we decided, on talking to Webasto UK, that </div> <div> most installations are inboard to start with, and draw cabin air </div> <div> for inlet with cockpit locker air too.</div> <div>     c) My inlet hose is routed and tiewrapped over the top of the heater </div> <div> unit and facing aft, leading to the void space aft of the locker where </div> <div> the other steering gear and bilge outlet  hoses run.</div> <div>     d) The space left by the hose ply covering being  discarded  forard </div> <div> I have left for air flow. Note, my huge fire extinguisher is easily </div> <div> supported by the remaining woodwork and framing, so no issue </div> <div> with flimsiness.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="ca38dea0.jpg" border=0 width="653" height="490" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Aft Locker - Shore Power layout</I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> 2. The shore power is moved while the aft plywood covering is removed to </div> <div> cutout the cockpit locker floor. My installation needed a bit of </div> <div> movement to make it neater after.</div> <bR> <div> 3.   The cockpit locker floor is cutout leaving about 15 to 25mm flanges </div> <div> all around the moulding.</div> <div>     a) These are left to keep strength in the moulding in case it is </div> <div> weakened by the cutout. It is between 10 and 13mm thick GRP all round.</div> <div>     b) Ensure that the cutout has radiuses in all the corners, as large</div> <div> as possible. Again this is to avoid stress raisers.</div> <div>     c) The outboard face is cut 15mm inboard of the ply face, to allow </div> <div> the heater ply covering to be reassembled, and is more of a shelf, </div> <div> approx 200mm from hull line all the way. It would make quite </div> <div> a good shelf if the heater is not installed.</div> <div>     d) The aft face is left similar to the outboard, to allow the ply </div> <div> covering with the shore power to be reassembled.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="ca59cf50.jpg" border=0 width="668" height="501" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Aft Locker showing corner floor cutout</I></div> <bR> <div> 4. The new bulkhead can now be measured and cut.</div> <div>     a) I used 15mm teak faced ply to match the Jeanneau floor.</div> <div>     b) There is a cutout required for the electrical junction boxes in </div> <div> the vicinity of the aft of the storage boxes shelving. (Or move them!)</div> <div>     c) Installed by teak battens to existing floor level,</div> <div>     d) 4 x M8 bolts with penny washers and nylocs through the GRP </div> <div> bulkhead that forms the cockpit locker forard face secure the top face</div> <div>     e) Silicon sealant adhesive all round.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="ca79ef70.jpg" border=0 width="670" height="503" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Aft locker showing floor cutout for'ard</I></div> <bR> <div> 5.
