The unit has a carry handle and a manual pump. If I were to unplug and take it in the boat for the day would it keep the water warm like a thermos?

I think it would. I have done something similar, and it kept the water hot for a couple of hours. I haven't tried it for a longer period of time, so I can't guess how long it will so work.

It keeps the water warm for a long time....I was amazed how well insulated it is. Perhaps 4-5 hrs?

All day. It's vacuum insulated like your grandpa's old Thermos bottle in his lunch box as he walked to school in the snowdrifts. We use it to have hot tea water on demand during road trips.

It is rather easy to carry, once filled it might become more heavy. The only way to take it to the beach and stay cold is if it was plugged in to either the vehicle or you can use the adapter to plug it in.

I used mine to power a bilge pump. That uses the power very sparingly to check for water level all the time. Then users more power to power the pump when water is present. It worked quite well for that. My guess is it would power your heating coil. The question is how much it would consume and how long it would last with the battery. But would it power it up? Most likely yes. Engineer could probably tell you more.

No, it turns itself off and the water stays warm until it cools off, as it would in any container.

Yes. It will stay warm for hours. Just make sure you wash the cooler as soon as practical.

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.

Seems to get pretty warm but I wouldn't consider it hot. Really like the way it works. I have it hooked to two batteries in my fishing boat and just hook it up after fishing and let it charge and maintain the battery.

No but it's made out of wetsuit material so it might keep you warmer in the water. Definitley not waterproof though.

It won't do the work of a Thermos. I would be most doubtful that this bottle is a good one in which to carry water that is boiling hot. I carry a canteen cup for the really hot water. And I carry my Nalgene for the best drinking water and as a source of excellent water to boil for coffee, tea, freeze dried food, etc.

It's portable but don't know how long water will stay hot if it's unplug for the rest of the day.

I don't use this one for the car. Thermos also makes a smaller one that's perfect for my cup holder. I use this one when I'll need cold water all day..

Yes, just don't plug in the unit until it is completely submerged. If the heating unit is heated out of water, it will burn out.

I suppose you could, but the bag isn't insulated. Over time the water will eventually cool to the same temperature it's sitting in. Now if you put the heated water bag into a cooler you may buy yourself a few hours of warm water.

not at all. It is hot when it brewes then need a thermo mug to keep it warm.There is no keep warm device.

It doesn't actually cool the water, it just circulates the water around. But the mere motion of the water being moved around should keep it cooler than a sitting pool of water.

Samantha; If you close the bag as instructed it will maintain a day enviroment for you stuff. If you submerge it in 3 feet of water for a prolonged period I don't know. It works fine on my dive trips it stays on the boat, I don't take it with me in the water.
