I bought a Mr Heater for my Boat three years ago. Never had a chance to use it yet.

Maybe you should be thanking your lucky stars?
An "open flame" especially below deck on a boat is a huge invitation to disaster..
There is a reason as to why even non cabin cruiser type boats have a "bilge purge" blower that you run BEFORE even starting an engine.. Build up of fuel flamible fumes below deck is real and lighting off a "Buddy heater or any other open flame device" below deck may be not such a good "friend" move.
Not to mention, I can't imagine sucking in burning propane fumes for any length of time would be all that good on your oxygen levels in your blood..
THANKS for the info.
If I use it I will have it in a well ventilated area. It's a 23' one level boat.
