Hiyaz Philip and Marilyn, We have Mermaid 16,000 BTU reverse cycle air/heat combo central aboard. We decided before we even moved aboard that AC would have to be available for a hottie like me (kidding, kidding... talking about men-o-start -- I call it that 'cause there's no "pause" in it that I can tell!).
The air is incredible and we've used it for six years without a hitch. Even while at anchor, when the heat outside gets oppressive, we can (and do) use the central air via a gasoline Honda 2000 EU generator. Sorry, we were talking about heat. With the Mermaid and like reverse cycles... I would caution about the heat... I find it a very moist heat, so much so that I usually have the alcohol oven on to keep things from getting damp. In the Keys we never use the heat, but we've been caught up north a few times when the heat came in handy on a few exceptionally chilly nights. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "liveaboard usage." We live aboard and use it. LOL Hope this helps! Hugs, Charmaine Aboard s/v September Sea "Life's a Gift...
