10.3 Cabin Air Conditioner (Optional)
The cabin air conditioner will operate on either
120-volt AC or 12-volt DC power, depending on
the unit selected for your boat. The AC powered
unit is equipped with reverse cycle heat and can
be operated as a cooling or heating unit. The
DC powered unit cools only and will not function
as a heating unit.
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
defrost the coiling condenser. This could cause
the coils to develop enough ice to reduce the unit’s
ability to cool the boat. With DC powered units,
leaving the cabin door open will significantly re
-
duce the available operating time while operating
the air conditioning on battery power.
The air conditioner is located in the helm access
compartment in the aft cabin bulkhead. The 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 forward bilge and where
it is pumped out by the forward bilge pump. You
should monitor the operation of the bilge pump
and make sure it is operating properly whenever
the cabin air conditioner is activated. The air con-
ditioner can produce enough condensation to flood
the forward bilge and cabin sole if it is allowed to
run for extended periods without the bilge pump
operating properly.
It is normal for some water to be in the pan
whenever the air conditioner has been used. The
condensation 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.
The intake line for the seawater pump in the stern
bilge is equipped with a sea strainer that must be
checked for debris frequently and cleaned as nec-
essary. Refer to the Raw Water System chapter
for information on the air conditioning pump and
cleaning the sea strainers.
You should also refer to the air conditioner owner’s
manual for additional operating and maintenance
instructions.

NOTICE:
Air conditioners use surface water as a cool-
ing medium. The boat must be in the water
and the raw water supply system must be
properly activated prior to use. Operation
without proper cooling could cause the air
conditioning unit to shut down and could
cause system damage. Always check for
proper water flow out of the air condition

conditioner is operating.
120-volt AC Air Conditioner Operation
The 120-volt AC air conditioning unit is activated
and protected by the Air Cond breaker in the AC
breaker panel. It requires 120-volt AC current
from shore power or the optional generator. To
operate the system, make sure the thru-hull valve
for the air conditioner seawater supply pump is
on. The pump, valve and sea strainer are located
