Hummm.... I need to do more research I guess, but this will help us get into
the cooler fall season. Those that pick on us for wanting to sleep in
comfort must not live in this high humidity climate!
This is heat-stroke country. Most people don't even come down to the dock
here in August. With a little ingenuity, my whole family will want to stay
on the boat happily. Sail a mile in my shoes..... ;o)
Without the AC the cabin interior is 102 degrees inside.

Were just picking on you. You have a nice boat now, go ahead and
invest in a nice marine ac system. If you have to use a window unit
buy yourself some plywood and make a temp hatch cover system that will
pipe the cold air below and toss it in the dock box when not in use.
You might need your galley sink.

102 is cool compared to what RedCloud would be without the 34000
btu's we keep going 24/7.

I will have to look into a marine AC unit, since we are wanting to keep this
boat and trick it out. It sounds like a Spring project though. No offence
was take. I have been reading and posting here about a month. I know how the
posts go. ;o)
From one extreme to the other!

Joe,
your 3 ton unit could do a small house nicely. do you run it just at the
dock or do you have a genny too?

$750 for the same unit with ''marine'' added to the name.

Try cruise air or aqua air.

One day maybe. Do they have a $78 model? I am saving real money for
sailing
items, like new sails...

1. the condenser fan is not designed to develop the higher static
pressure
needed to move air through duct (the motor amperage will climb as
static
climbs). That is why you don't see 'propeller type fans in ducted
systems.


I figured you'd need to add an inline blower in the duct.

SV

Yep, that could work.

I was thinking of using one of these;

pushed send too fast.
BTW, this has been a cool summer, compared to last few years. My
boss informed me that it's supposed to be nice Mon. & Tue. and ordered
me to go sailing. Can't argue with that.

It's a 3'' 'bilge blower'. sold at all the marine stores.
