Never going to happen period.
A 200 watt panel generates 300 to 500 watt hours per day depending on location and time of year use under ideal panel orientation. The ceramic heater running 24 hours per day uses 1500 watts x 24 hours = 36,000 watt hours or 36 Kwh, more than your average large home.
Your little flashlight battery of 12 volts at 133 AH can only store 12 volts x 133 AH = 1500 watt hours
What all this means is with your panel and battery you can only run the small little heater 10 to 20 minutes per day. You can only generate 0.5 Kwh/day and need 36 Kwh/day. That is 72 times more power than you can generate.
To make it work requires a 14,000 watt solar panel and a 11,000 pound $40,000 battery you replace every few years.
The only way to use that heater is to have a generator running 24 hours a day. A lot less expensive and lighter than solar. 14,000 watts of panel stakes only a large Yacht to hold them, and a 11,000 pound battery that will sink your boat or bank account first.
Sorry but it is never going to happen.
There is only one energy source that will work and is economical. Fossil Fuel in the form of LPG, Diesel, or gasoline. Not sure about alcohol. Anyway the issue is 36 Kwh/day is a huge amount of electric energy.
Watt Hours = Watts x Hours = 1500 watts x 24 Hours = 36,000 watt hours or 36 Kwh.
National average residential homes use 30 Kwh per day. You gotta a boat using more than a house uses.

Folks,
Maybe someone can steer me right here... I am in dummy mode.
I got a boat. 25ft cuddy cabin powerboat.
I got a marine battery 12v dc and 133 amp hour rating
I got a lasco ceramic heater as in here
I want to heat my boat while boating thru alaskan sound...
Is this the way to go ? How can keep warm in my
If so how do I power this heater to run around the clock 7x24...
A sales guy said he would sell me two 100watt monocrystaline solar panels to powerup the battery.
Is somethign wrong with this config ?
Will it work ?
Why not if not.
If it wont work... what will work?
Tring to plan on keeping warm.
- cheers and thanks
