Extend the boating season and protect your engine against surprise cold snaps prior to winterization. The Pali™ utilizes a self-regulating PTC heating element that cannot overheat. It meets all ignition protection guidelines and standards (USCG, UL-1500) to allow it to be safely used in the bilge compartment. The Pali™ utilizes an internal hermetically sealed thermostat to turn the heater on at 45°F (7°C) and off at 69°F (15°C). Pali™ is designed to heat engine compartments up to 80ft³.

1. Can the True North and the Pali heater be run on the same circuit?
No, it is not recommended. Each heater should be used on its own circuit to ensure it will work safely when required.
2. I would like to hard wire the Pali heater. Is your wire colour coding the same as the US?
Please note that the Pali Engine Compartment Heater is not designed to be directly wired. Please do not make any alterations to this product. Any changes made to this unit will be at your own risk.
3. Where can I use the Pali Engine Compartment Heater, and can it be used in diesel and gas engine compartments?
The Pali is designed to be installed in the engine compartment of boats/yachts to protect the motor from freezing in the event of a cold snap of weather. They are not designed to replace the winterization of your boat. These heaters are designed so that they can't cause fumes to ignite and start a fire or explosion. Diesel is less flammable, but neither engine fuels have an issue operating with the Pali.
The Pali will work well with most boats under 30' long. 80 Cubic feet can be envisioned as a cube just a little larger than 4'x4'x4', or approximately the size of a larger washing machine or fridge.
The 9510 Pali heater was also tested to UL Standard 1500 Ignition-Protection Test for Marine Products by Imana Laboratory, Inc. in July 2013 Report number 1970-1 and was verified safe. The product is also CSA listed to CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 191-M89 Engine Heater and Battery Warmers and UL Std No. 499 13th Ed Electric Heating Appliances Standards.
4. What is the approximate temperature of the air exiting the unit? How close can it be placed to a plastic water tank or a battery bank?
The maximum approximate temperature of the heated air exiting the unit is about 20 to 30C (68-86F) higher than ambient (turns on at 45°F (7C) and turns off at 69°F (15C). It can be safely located 8" from a battery bank or plastic tank.
5. How far away should the unit be installed from the belts?
The Pali Engine Compartment Heater should be placed at least two inches from the belts.
6. Can I install this unit upside down?
Yes, this unit can be mounted in any orientation. However, it is recommended to mount this unit horizontally.
7. Does the Pali Engine Compartment Heater reset itself if there is an outage and then the power is restored?
The Pali is controlled by a sealed thermostat. The thermostat does not require power to function. However, the heating element and fans do require power. If the power goes out, the thermostat still operates, but the heating element and fan will not work. Once power is restored, the heating element and fans will function.
In simpler terms, the Pali is continuously on, the thermostat controls the powering of the heating element and fan. The thermostat does not require power to function.
8. Can the Pali heater be mounted in a confined space in the engine compartment? I don't have enough room to mount it on the floor, so I wonder if there is another way.
The unit should be mounted as close to floor level as possible. This is because the unit has an internal thermostat, and heat rises. If the unit is mounted too high, the air will cycle through and shut off before it warms the air below. The Pali can be mounted on a vertical or horizontal position as long as it is placed as low as possible.
9. Are you able to set the heater to a certain temperature?
The temperature cannot be adjusted. The heater is designed to turn on at 45°F (7°C) and off at 69°F (15°C).
10. Can I use an extension cord with this product?
The CSA states an extension cord cannot be used with a heater as the extension cord is not wired for heater usage. If you are located in the USA, and your local regulations state that an extension cord can be used with a heater, you must ensure that the plug is located outside of the engine compartment.
11. Does this product have an overheat protector?
This product does not have an overheat protector as it is ignition protected. The Pali is a self-regulating PTC heater; PTC heaters do not overheat. PTC elements are temperature limited.
12. How long is the power cord?
The Pali heater has a 20- foot power cord and should not be used with an extension cord.
