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?
Scout


Have a very nice air cooled 12HP 2 CLY Lister 75KW genny. And the
units are 3. a 16,000 Cruise air for the main cabin, a 10,000 Aqua air
for the aft cabin and a 8,000 unit for the wheelhouse. With free
electric here in the marina I can afford to run them all- all the
time. Also have a large solar panel the runs all the 12 volt fans to
push the cold air around. Its the perfect application of a solar
panel, the hotter it gets outside the faster the fans run.

Burrrrrrrrr

An air cooled diesel genset? Where is it mounted, and how is it vented?
I would think that water cooling would be a whole lot more effecient and
nicer to be around (although the raw water loop is a PITA).

It's in the engine room, vented by a 10" duct system that dumps the
air outside the stern of the wheelhouse. During the summer with the
main running and the gen set running you can stay in the engine room
and be very cool. The blower is between the engine and the gen
windings, Its a cast iron squirrel cage type blower that is around 3
foot tall. I had to build custom duct work. The boat came from the N.
Sea were it is normally very cold so it use to just warm the engine
room. It's a great system.
