Solving A Very Tricky Webasto Heater Issue

I hired Steven for the trickiest project of all… getting my diesel heater working again as the winter season descends upon us.  One problem quickly expanded into 5 different problems to restore heat to my boat!

  1. Water leak in the bilge area requiring a repair to fix the leak in the [heater] hoses
  2. Replacement of the cover to the expansion tank, similar to your car radiator cap
  3. Replacement of the control box of the burner unit which involved a bench test of the burner unit at the shop
  4. Replacement of the thermostat controlling the heating level inside the boat
  5. Replacement of the water pump circulating the heated water through the boat.

And now, I have a dependable and welcome heat source!  Steven was like Sherlock Holmes, identifying one problem, fixing it, only to find another problem!  And so it went until he found all 5 problems.  Throughout the process, he kept me informed on what he was finding, he did research on his own time to identify what was happening, and he became a familiar face at Sure Marine, the supplier of the heater and pump.  Thank you Steven for a job well done!
