Edd,
Two tips for the AC raw water install.
1. Put a valve on the discharge thru-hull. Many installers don't do this.
2. Install a tee on the supply for a dock hose hook up. Mine is on the
discharge of the pump.
This will allow you to do a couple things. First, if your pump fails, you
can

First, I swear by CruisAir units. IMHO, best marine AC out there. Went
through several iterations of Mermaids prior to the CruisAir.
I've had a 16KBTU Cruisair in Touche' for over a decade. Super reliable.
Not even a burp. Keeps Touche' cool even in the Pensacola or Louisiana
I have thru hull for AC right next to engine intake. Unit is installed behind
last bottom drawer on chart table area drawer is gone bye bye venting to 2
outlets 1 on each side midship under sliding plexi

Hi Edd,
I know this one's been already extensively covered. But.
David Mocny whom also posts (Used to?) on this list also installed A/C on
his 37+ some years ago.
He went with 2 units: A 16,000 BTU (If I remember right) in the back and a
smaller unit for the v-birth / salon area. I'm certain

Our raw water intake for the AC used to share the engine raw water intake.
We now have a separate thru hull for the AC. The AC Raw Water pump and
strainer are located just above the transmission, just inside the rear
access door in the aft cabin, easy access. There is a nice teak enclosure

"Long run" depends on where you put the unit and more importantly where you
put the water pump. Mine being under the stairs means that the head only
adds about 5 feet - I guess - of hose. Of course there is room under the
sink to put the pump in the head too.
Truth be told, I didn't run my

You will want a separate shore power cord for the AC if it draws 25 amps, don’t
try and use the existing shore power.

Josh,
The quote I’m getting is for a 16,500BTU unit, which I’m told will draw close
to 25 amp when fully working. The installer claims, once installed, the main

Our AC is under the stairs, above the engine. I'm not sure of the size but
it works fine for us. I'll look to see if I have photos of it.

It is simple. Unless you install a cut off valve in the teed line off the
raw water entail, the engine's raw water pump will suck the water out of
the HVAC water line. When that happens you will have air in the intake line
and your engine will over heat, etc. all sorts of bad things will
My ac has been T’d off the engine cooling thru-hull for 24+ years without
issues—save for a small sea snake who managed to get into the ac cooling tube
but not thru the strainer in the tube!
In addition to a small strainer in the ac line (after the T of course), I have
