Cummins 4BTA air heater

[Mark Tripi]

I have a pair of 4BTAs and I am in the middle of replacing the after coolers with the Bowman coolers. I have welded an adapter plate onto the cooler air outlet to mount the heater but wondered where to put the sensor/switch that is mounted in the after cooler. If it is just a switch I can run two wires up to the dash and turn on the heaters manually and eliminate it. Any ideas?

Because where we cruise we need some starting assist in the fall and early spring. We don’t always have shore power available. They work very well for what I need. It would make it very easy if I could turn them on/off from the helm and not have to install that sensor or switch.

Why would you want to install air heaters?
