There is storage below the V-berth and a hanging locker in the
bulkhead forward of the head compartment.
TV and AM/FM Radio/CD Player (Optional)
The CD player and stereo is built into the starboard side of the
cabin in the cabinet above the hanging locker. It is activated
by the Stereo breaker in the cabin DC panel.
The TV is located on the forward cabin bulkhead in the
V-berth. It is activated by the TV breaker on the cabin AC
panel.
10.4 Cabin Air Conditioner
The air conditioning unit in the cabin is the reverse cycle type
and operates on AC power. The unit is equipped with reverse
cycle heat and can be operated as a cooling or heating unit.
There is one air conditioner for the main cabin and V-berth.
It is protected by a circuit breaker in the 120-volt AC breaker
panel.
To operate, make sure the thru-hull valve for the air conditioner
raw water supply pump, located in the engine compartment
forward of the port engine, is open turn the Air Conditioning
breaker in the AC breaker panel to the “ON” position.
The air conditioning or heat then will be controlled by the
electronic control panel in the main cabin near the cabin door.
The sea water pump is automatically activated when the air
conditioner is turned on and water should continuously flow
from the overboard thru-hull.
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
seawater temperature lowers, the air conditioner’s ability to
produce warm air decreases. When the seawater temperature
drops below 40 - 45 degrees, the air conditioner will not
be able to produce heat. You should not operate the air
conditioner to produce heat when the water temperature is
below 40 degrees.
The air conditioner unit is below the V-berth in the cabin.
The air conditioner compressor 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 where it is
pumped overboard by the forward bilge pump. 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.
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.
The intake line for the pump is equipped with a sea strainer
that must be checked for debris frequently and cleaned as
necessary. The strainer is located next to the port engine
in the engine room bilge. The procedure for cleaning the
strainer is the same as for the generator sea strainer. Refer
to the Electrical Systems and Raw Water System chapters 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.
