Air/Cooler Pump
The air/cooler pump supplies raw water to the air conditioner and the refrigeration unit for the
cooler boxes. This pump receives a signal from the pump relay for the air conditioner unit and
cockpit coolers refrigeration unit when the air conditioner or refrigeration unit is operational.
Also, the air conditioner seacock located in the aft rigging compartment must be open (the
remote arm for this seacock is accessed through the fold down door behind the folding aft
seat).
Air Conditioner
The air conditioning system operates on AC current only; therefore, the generator or dockside
power must be in use with load group 2 energized . The air conditioner switch on the AC/DC
panel activates the unit’s control pad located beside the stereo above the microwave. The air/
cooler pump switch must also be on and the air condition seacock must be open to supply the
unit with raw water. The thermostatic control is similar to household units. Supply vents are
located in the galley, the dinette, the forward V-berth, the aft berth, and the head. The return
vent is located in the dinette area. The air conditioning unit is located beneath the forward
dinette seat. The condensation drain for the unit drains to the shower sump. Therefore, the
shower sump pump should be switched on when using the air conditioner to remove any
condensation. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance manual in your Owner’s Packet for
specific instructions on using the unit. See
“Air Conditioning Layout” on page 8–27
for a
layout of the air conditioning system. See
“Air Condition & Cockpit Coolers One-Line
Diagram” on page 8–54
for a wiring diagram.
Battery Charger
This two bank battery charger is located in the aft rigging compartment near the four aft
batteries. The generator must be running or the dockside power must be connected with load
group 1 energized for the charger to work. To activate the charger, turn the AC panel breaker
switch to the on position. The charger has a built-in isolator that senses the charging needs of
all the batteries and distributes charge accordingly. At the point that all batteries are nearly
fully restored, the charger will automatically reduce the current being sent to the batteries to a
maintenance level. The maximum output for each charging leg is 15 amps. There is a 25A in-
line fuse in the positive charging lead to each battery bank. If the charger appears to be
operating normally but the batteries do not recharge, check these fuses and replace as
necessary. See this charger’s Operation Manual in your Owner’s Packet for further
information on the charger. See
“12 Volt DC Elementary Diagram” on page 8–59
and
“120
Volt AC Electrical Diagram” on page 8–62
for wiring detail.
N O T I C E
If your boat is removed from the water, leaving the seacock open will drain the water in the air
conditioning system. This may cause an airlock in the air conditioner water pump in subsequent
operation. To prevent this drainage, close the air conditioner seacock. If the boat is being
winterized, leave the seacock open so the water can drain. Then, remove any remaining water by
blowing pressurized air through the system. See the Operation and Maintenance Manual included
in your Owner’s Packet for additional winterizing information.
