Does it throw out hot air when in heating mode?
Thanks

If she's clean, the compressor is definitely running, she's pumping water, and neither the heat or cold cycles work, it's likely you have a refrigeration related issue such as the compressor or refrigerant charge. If I recall, this boat is new to you, do you know if there is a service history on this unit? Can't tell you how many times I've run into the wrong refrigerant/oil used in a repair. That'll toast the compressor for sure.
