The air conditioning system produces heat when
it is operated in the reverse cycle mode. The
ability of the unit to produce heat is affected by
the temperature of the seawater. As the seawa-
ter temperature lowers, the air conditioner’s abil-
ity to produce warm air decreases. When the
seawater temperature drops below 40 - 45 de-
grees, the air conditioner will not be able to pro-
duce heat. You should not operate the air condi-
tioner to produce heat when the water tempera-
ture is below 40 degrees.
The air conditioning unit creates condensation that
drips into the pan at the base of the unit. A hose
attached to the pan drains the water to the sump
system. The sump system is activated whenever
the house battery switch is on and must be acti-
vated when the air conditioner is operating. It is
normal for some water to be in the pan whenever
the air conditioner has been used. The conden-
sation pan should be checked periodically to make
sure it is draining properly.
The drain hoses, condensation pan and sump
should be flushed clean if they become restricted
by mold or debris. If drain becomes plugged, the
condensation pan will overflow into the dinette
seat storage compartment and carpeting.
You should always keep the cabin door closed when
operating the air conditioner. If the cabin door is
left open, it could cause the air conditioner unit
to run continuously and not cycle enough to de-
frost the coils on the condenser. This could cause
the coils to develope enough ice to reduce the
unit’s ability to cool the boat.
The intake line for the pump is equipped with a
sea strainer that must be checked for debris fre-
quently and cleaned as necessary. Refer to the
Raw Water System chapter and for information on
the air conditioning pump and cleaning the sea
strainer.
You also should refer to the air conditioner owner’s
manual for additional operating and maintenance
instructions.
Master Stateroom
Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a
cooling medium. The boat must be in
the water and the raw water supply
system must be properly activated
prior to use. After a certain amount of
time without water flow, the air
conditioning unit will automatically
power down. Always check for proper
water flow out of the air conditioning
pump discharge thru-hull when the air
conditioner is operating.
10.5 Master Stateroom
The master stateroom is located in the bow area,
forward of the main salon. The stateroom has a
large berth set against the forward bulkhead with
two storage drawers built into the aft end of the
berth. Additional storage is located in a compart-
ment below the mattress. A carbon monoxide
detector is standard and an LCD television mounted
to the aft bulkhead is optional.
A hanging locker is located on the port side of the
stateroom door. Additional storage is located in
storage compartments built into the rear of the
hanging locker. A light in the locker is automati-
cally activated when the door is opened and turned
off when the door is closed.
