Re: 2000 396 AC - air conditioner not draining
I located the access. Actually had to remove the cabinet. When I did, I cleaned the condensate drain but this did not correct the leaking problem. It appears the water is coming from the unit but I cannot see the source. It must be water from the river but I can see the ingress and egress lines and the leak is not at the connection. There is a pretty significant leak somewhere near the connection between the unit and air duct. To make matters worse, I cannot locate anyone in the Pittsburgh area who services marine AC. I may have to replace the unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: 2000 396 AC - air conditioner not draining
I located the access which required the removal of the cabinet where th intake is located. Unfortunately, the problem is not the condensate drain. The water is coming from the area near where the unit connects to the air duct blowing cold air. The connects for the seawater and the discharge are not the location of the leak. Any thoughts? I may have to but a new unit and I have been looking on-line. Also, can't find anyone in the Pittsburgh area who services marine AC although I found someone who can install a new unit.
As always, I am looking for any suggestions.

The other side of the air condition (they say) is to take the cabinet walls apart in the starboard aft state room closet next to the stairs.
