No problems with the system leaving it plugged in 24/7. I did that before my
engine overhaul. There is a potential problem with any engine heater leaving it
plugged in for long periods of time because of potential for the moisture to
condense on cooler portions of the engine, notably the camshaft. If you are
going to leave it plugged in 24/7, I would invest in insulating covers for the
prop and cowl so that you don't have large heat losses creating cool
condensation surfaces in the engine.

No complaints. The install was easy, the product works as advertised.
I'm in TN, so the temps get into the teens at night a few months a year.
For the early morning trips, the engine fires up and the oil temp is ready
to go. (The JPI flashes a warning if the oil is not up to set temp yet)

Any problems leaving it plugged in for days on end? The Springs often get
well below zero.
Thanks!!
