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 unit 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.
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 air conditioner is below the V-berth in the cabin. 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 bilge where is pumped overboard by the automatic bilge
pump system.
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 sea water pump is equipped with a
sea strainer that must be checked for debris frequently and
cleaned as necessary. Refer to the Raw Water System chapter
for information on the air conditioning pumps and cleaning
the sea strainers.
You should also refer to the air conditioner owner’s manual
for additional operating and maintenance instructions.
Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a cooling me-
dium. 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 circuit breaker to
trip and could cause system damage. Always check
for proper water flow out of the air conditioning
pump discharge thru-hull when the air conditioner
is operating.
10.4 Cabin Woodwork
Cabin Sole and Steps
Some of the galley cabinets are made of teak. If your boat is
equipped with the Heritage Package, steps and the cabin floor
will be made of solid teak and holly. The wood is finished
with a high quality urethane finish that will provide years of
protection with proper care and treatment. The wood can be
sanded and refinished as necessary.
Use caution when varnishing wood steps. The wood grain is
a natural nonskid and too much varnish or polyurethane will
fill the grain and make the wood slippery. You should use
a satin or flat varnish and only apply one or two coats. A
nonskid material mixed with the varnish may be required to
keep the cabin steps from becoming slippery when they are
refinished.
Carpeted or fiberglass floors can be cleaned with a vacuum.
The wood steps can be vacuumed then washed with a mixture
of water and Murphy’s Oil Soap. Wipe the wood dry with a
clean towel.
