Abstract
The present invention provides for controlling the temperature of a seat used in conjunction with inboard or outboard motor boats and craft. The invention extracts hot water from the circulating water pump of a motor boat engine and cool water from the high pressure side of the motor boat's intake water pump obtained from the floating medium, provides for controlling the mixture of hot and cool water and circulates the mixture through plastic water pads, returning the used water to the low pressure side of the motor boat's intake water pump. In such an arrangement, the temperature of the mixed water supplied to the water pads can be adjusted from the operating temperature of the motor boat engine to the temperature of floating medium.
