Thanks! Some interesting info there. So my 1000W Zerostart should be plenty for my 138hp engine.
Neat project with the water tank heater element, BTW.
The reason I chose the 1000W heater size instead of the larger 1500W size was the power draw limit of a typical 120V 15A circuit. I don't have the luxury of 240V supply in my garage and I would like to run this heater along with the 200W OEM oil pan heater and maybe even a small adhesive pad heater on the bottom of the transmission. A regular wall plug can only give so much... I'd like to keep total power to 1500W if possible to keep from overloading the breaker.
