The marine air 12000 btu unit we had on the boat turned on and the compressor got cold but the blower didn't turn on, replacment blower is 270.00 and we just bought a new unit. We purchased a wabasco 16000 btu unit and I picked it up with a new pump this morning. I got to the boat at 10:30, pulled out the old unit, removed pump, had to run into town for a hose barb on the new pump and ran all the plumbing to the new unit. The wiring looked in great shape and I hooked up the main panel to the frig circuit on the panel.
By 12:30 everything was hooked up, I bled the water line and attached the output to the AC. Attached the power back to the dock, and turned the breaker back on, opened the thru hull and flipped it on. The inside of the boat was right under 100, and it took the new unit about 10 min. To bring the cabin to the 78 degree mark.
The unit was super quiet, so quiet I could only hear the air at the grills. I am super happy.
I am looking at a xantrax inverter to power the unit away from dockside. I am still waiting on my bilge pump to install, I am ready for next weekend sitting on a cool boat in our 100 deg days.
I am looking at the old unit to sell soon, I am going to test the blower and see if I can get it working. Keep posted if you are looking to install an AC unit as my old one will be sold cheap.
Did I say I was happy
