We had a Dometic 16k BTU AC/heat pump installed last summer. Expensive, yes, worth it....without a doubt! We call our Ericson "Our cabin on the lake"; which doubles as an enjoyable sailboat the majority of the time. At the dock, this unit will bring a 95 degree interior down to 72 degrees in 25 minutes in the entire cabin, after an enjoyable sail on a breezy warm summer day; or a freezing cold winter day up to 70 degrees in the same amount of time....absolutely worth it. Sits under the cabin starboard settee out of sight and mind....until needed; then flick the dedicated master switch and open the seacock for water cooling/heating, flick the thermostat on...and enjoy!

thank you so much for your reply! Really useful. What boat do you have? Where did you placed the AC? How complicated is to install? Many thanks for your help.
