Review: Easy swap - Original hotstart on generator had malfunctioned, electrical short that caused part of it to melt. This was a plug and play part, fit right where the old one was and worked right off, the cord was a little shorter but not a big deal. Review: Hot start starts hot! - I have a ford Lehman 120 in my trawler. As the weather got chillier, the engine was harder to start. On a recommendation from someone in the trawler group I checked out Hot start. Selected the item I thought would suit my needs, ordered and installed. On cold days, the engine starts easier then it does in the summer!!! ## Features - 1000 Watts - 120 Volts with Plug (4FT Cord) - Fixed Setting Thermostat - ON: 100F (38C) OFF: 120F (49C) - Engine Displacement 350 CID 5.7 L - 5/8" Hose Nipples molded onto the heater for easy hose connection - Includes universal mounting and screws ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006TPJYC | | Amperage | 8.4 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | #571,885 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #6 in Automotive Replacement Tank Type Engine Heaters | | Brand | Hotstart | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (50) | | Date First Available | September 21, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.61 pounds | | Item model number | TPS101GT10-000 | | Manufacturer | Kim Hotstart | | Manufacturer Part Number | TPS101GT10-000 | | Product Dimensions | 7.9 x 5 x 4 inches | | Voltage | 120 Volts (AC) | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Images ![Hotstart Kim TPS101GT10 Series 120V, 1000 Watt Coolant Heater - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813QiLKJpmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does thi unit circulate the water??** A: It doesn’t.
