Your boat is equipped with two (2) air conditioning

on the port side of the mid cabin. The 12,000 BTU
unit controls the air temperature in the cabin.
The cockpit 18,000 BTU unit is located behind an
access door on the starboard wall below the captain’s
chair. The unit controls the air temperature in the
helm area.

The helm deck A/C unit has been designed to
provide a comfortable environment in the helm
area. However, keep in mind that sunlight and high
ambient temperatures will impact the units ability to
provide adequate cooling. If more heat is entering
the area than the unit is designed to remove than the
temperature will rise.
Operation
The units are individually powered by either shore
power or the onboard generator and a power inverter.
