*A Note About AC Electric Cabin Heaters and Water Heaters
Electric cabin heaters and water heaters can only be used while the yacht is connected to shore power. Diesel cabin heaters can be used away from shore.
Important: All MSC yachts have an electric space heater that plugs into an 110v outlet aboard, but these can only be used while the yacht is connected to shore power. If a boat has a 110v inverter, using a space heater away from shore may be technically possible, but is not permitted because it will drain the batteries very quickly, possibly leading to battery damage.
To learn more power management while away from shore, be sure to read the article Marine Battery Care and Power Management Basics in the Member Resources section of our website.
