Extending the season - Would something like this work on our boats?

I think that uses the heat of the water cooling the motor on a closed loop cooling system, wouldn't work on our boats. I could be wrong though.

Holycow that is expensive for a block of aluminum with some fans behind it and some ducting. You could probly build one for 500% less. That aside it all depends on the output temperature of the cooling water of the Yamaha boats or the hot side temperature of rotax closed loop powered boats as to wheter it would would work. Even then in an open enviroment that is moving it would be like using a garden hose to put out an office building fire.

Better option would be buying an aftermarket heated seat kit and installing that. Finding a way to close in the cabin would be even better. Last option but my first is moving to a warmer climate next year.

I recall someone installing one of these a while ago. The hot water coming off the engines wasn't as hot as closed loop systems get, but it did work.
