[Sentoa] Cummins Engine Block Heater

[aem2 at prodigy.net]

As far as I know, the Cummins Engine Block heater doesn't have a thermostat. When you plug it in, it is ON.

The first day my heater was installed, which was pretty cold, the water jacket ended up at 125 degrees.

So the water keeps heating, and if it is too warm in the boat, I am afraid it will overheat, so I have put a timer on mine, to prevent that. 

Of course, if you had some kind of thermostat on the electric outlet, that should work fine.
