Hello Team,
I am seriously considering removing our Red Dot heater and replacing with a more useful Webasto or Wallas system on our 355. Would be much more useful for our purposes. Frankly, there has never been a reason to run our Red Dot while underway.
I do realize I'll need new 4" ducting and a new through hole for the vent hose. Our 355 has 6BT Cummins engines, so diesel is nearby.
Has anyone done this? Are there any hurdles or issues I should be aware of? Or is this a decommissioning to stay away from?
Thanks for any advice!
Happy New Year, Greg

Re: Decommission Red Dot on 355?
I say if your not using it then decommisioning it would be the way to go. Was that an option for that boat or was it an owner add on? Our 1998 355 doesn't have one.

Re: Decommission Red Dot on 355?
Hello!
Yes. It seems to be an original system. And as stated, not really useful in our climate or situation.
Thanks so much for your feedback and the reply. Definitely leaning toward decommissioning as soon as I can pull together it's replacement heater!
Hopefully more soon!
