Two questions: How many watts to start the compressor, and how much to
run it?
Well, it is 14 amps at 117 volts... So you do the math:
(14 X 117) = ?
(and a starting factor) X 2.0 = ??

Given that generator ratings are gloriously optimistic, I would want
5KW minimum on a hot and still Carribean night...

George, you should be aware that Ocean Marine is no longer in business
and it may tough to get parts. I have an OM A/C in my boat and found
out the hard way when the control box crapped out a few years ago. I
was able to find a local guy who was able to retrofit another brand of
control box to get the A/C working again.
