That is exactly where we placed our Force 10 and we love it there (we
are using it now 43 degrees F at N 42 degrees 35'!) . Be sure to put
some sort of heat reflector on the wood. We mounted custom stainless
steel plate with stainless spacers to keep the plate off of the wood.
Our exhaust is close to the coach roof and has a stainless cap
permanently mounted at an angle to keep the sea out.
