Default Bilge Heater
I need to find a compact heater to put in the bilge this winter. I don't want to winterize because I plan to start and run the motors once a month to keep the batteries up and oil circulated etc. The boat may be laid up for as long as 2 years because they are lowering the lake to fix the damn dam.

Wow, if that is the case, you may want to go with automotive engine block heaters, and/or, oil heaters.

Winterize your motors. If you lose power for an extended time you will be in trouble.
