AIRCONDITIONING
Optional 16000BTU Cruisair Air-conditioning may be provided for both forward
Cabins and central Saloon. This air-conditioning uses a salt water cooling pump
and water inlet located below the starboard forward cabin sole.
The salt water-cooling inlet must only be “on” while the air-conditioned is in
use. The salt-water inlet is “on” when the handle is in line with the hose and
“off” when the handle is at right angles to the hose. As air-conditioning requires
considerable 240/110 AC Power It can only be operated while connected to
Shore Power at a Marina or with 4.5KVA Generator.
Troubleshooting
An air-conditioner requires considerable more current to start than run. The air-
conditioner may not start if too much load is put on the AC source. Check that
the air-conditioner and power distribution circuit breakers are on. The load can
be reduced by switching devices off. A battery charger will demand a high load
when first switch on but will decrease this demand over around 10 minutes. The
Mastervolt or Xantrex Freedom 2000 Charger/Inverter will manage this load
sharing.
The air-conditioner may not cool or ice up. It depends on salt water flow from a
pump located in the centre starboard hull. Check that the water inlet valve is on
and this pump is operating with salt water flowing freely out the inside
starboard hull above the waterline. If the pump is operating and water not
flowing, clear the water inlet by snorkeling under the boat.
If the air-conditioner ices up then the in or out air flow is most likely restricted.
The variable outflow vents are designed to allow zoning cabin and saloon areas
but the equivalent of two large out vents must be fully open all the time.
ELECTRICAL
The Seawind 1160 has both a 12V DC and optional 110/240V AC electrical
systems. The 12V DC system consists of 400A/hr House Battery Bank located
under the saloon settee port side and 700 CCA Motor Starting Battery also
located under the saloon settee.
All batteries are sealed AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) type and require no
maintenance apart from keeping the terminals clean. It is important to
understand battery-charging facilities, as usage will vary considerably. It is
preferable to monitor battery usage with optional amp-hour monitor.
WARNING: Battery life will be reduced considerably if discharged below 50%
of capacity (Voltage less than 12.20V).
