AC Replacement
Unit is tucked in the port aft corner of the master cabin and very difficult to access. Seems like Carver built the boat around the AC unit!! I guess they never had service in mind during their planning off placement.
Thoughts??

Re: AC Replacement
I'm assuming you've confirmed that the raw water pump is pumping and discharging overboard? How many AC units on board? Does either mode work; heat or cooling?

If the unit is defective and original to the boat, I wouldn't put any money into it because you'll likely spend a fair bit of money and still have a 30 year old unit that's likely to have something else fail at any time. Newer units are more efficient, use less power, are much quieter, are likely to take up less space, and will come with a digital control panel.

Yes raw water pump functions and discharges overboard. Heating appears to work although I've only tested it in the summer lol. I have a total of 3 units on board. 2 are working great. figures the one in the master cabin doesn't

I do have some pictures however I cannot attach them to this message for some strange reason. The forum doesn't recognize the pictures to attach. If you can provide your email I can forward them to you separately.
