I appreciate the desire to be cool but I just can't see myself breathing processed air on a sailboat.around here when we say "fresh air' we mean white caps are starting to form on the Bay, never really thought about the other more basic meaning of "fresh air" on my boat. Sailing is different nearly anywhere you go, that also makes it quite the learning experience

If not, then where? If so, what cutting or reconstruction has to be done to accommodate the units? Richard 1985 37 CB; Richard N.

I started out with a Mermaid 16K reverse cycle unit I installed in1999. Sent it back to Mermaid for repair twice in 8 years. Switched to a Cruisair 16K reverse cycle 6 or 7 years ago and sold the Mermaid on eBay. The Cruisair has run without a burp since install. My buddy here is the "go to" guy for refrigeration and AC installs and repairs. He is the Cruisair factory repair tech for this area. He works on all brands, Mermaid, MarineAir, etc. He swears by Cruisair. Dennis C.

It is intentionally undersized so we can run it off our Honda 2000 at anchor. Great once the sun goes down but it loses the battle mid afternoon in the 90's. The 9k also fit better in the hanging locker where we could vent easily to the v-berth and main cabin. Pay attention to the space needed for all the air handling bits and pieces. The larger the unit the larger those bits and pieces need to be. We spent the xtra for the reverse cycle. It adds a lot of flexibility though we consider 50's to be winter here. (sunny and headed to 80 today....) Don't know about others but the thermostats we started with never lasted more than a year or 2- just not marine ready. So I finally just bought a Honeywell hockey puck and as it is all mechanical it has been just fine.
