Please bare in mind as you read this, I am relativity new to boating and will ask lots of "strange" questions. A thought came to me while preparing to winterize my Rinker 212 Captiva BR, what if I place a small electric space heater (like one used to heat a bedroom) in the engine compartment of my boat and set the thermostat to click on when it gets below a certain temperature, if this would be at all effective as a BACKUP to regular winterization? I know they make engine heater for such an application, but those things are expensive. Would this be close to the same thing? or would this screw something up?
