Does a block heater for an v892 also fit an 8v71? This one is online for $40.

Lin, I did not see one on the link for a 8v92 but to answer your question yes it will work.
Don't waste your money for a small block heater the DD heater is 2500W it fits on the lower right hand corner and has a 4 bolt flange you remove to insert the heater

good luck

Thanks Clifford,

It was the last one on the page. I knew it seemed cheap but did not see why. It is only 750 watts, so that explains it. You mention one with 2500 watts, wouldn't that trip a 20 amp breaker?
