Yeah, but can you power it with a reusable salt water battery?

Just finished customizing a 5200 btu GE window AC unit to work
in my sailboat.
Cut out the condenser and fan, fabricated a tube in tube heat exchanger,
sweated some hose fittings onto a coil of 5/8" tubing, connected the two
heat
exchangers with a small circulating pump (Taco 007) and some HD garden
hoses,
charge the closed loop with fresh water, throw the 5/8" coil over the side
(into the bay - once anchored), and I got me a water cooled window unit that
fits snug in a
cabinet in my boat. Condensate dumps to bilge. Pulls 4.5 amps and runs
nice on my Honda EU2000 genny. Total cost about $250 and it works like a
charm!

Temps yesterday topped 93. 100 expected today!
The AC works great...looks like a brutal summer. The 12v fridge is already
proving to be far nicer than I expected...really a life saver on a hot day.

Making it an easy transition from a Winnebago.

There's a well adjusted "secure" response.
BB's boat probably has no AC, hence the anger.

The AC works great...looks like a brutal summer.

This after something like 17 straight weekends of below avg temps and rain.
What a savant.

airconditioning.

But you sound VERY secure!!!

RB

I had one. I traded it for something I could use while sailing.
