I recently borrowed an old Cruiseair unit from a friend. It needs a shot of
Freon but works reasonably well. I suggest that you contact them at
cruiseair.com for new models.

Listers,
We’ve had some really hot days up here in the Northeast and the Admiral is
thinking air conditioning. I don’t really want to go through the expense of
installing a marine air conditioner and through-hull valves, but I have been
hearing stories of boaters putting one of those portable AC units on board with
the exhaust hose going out through a hatch.
I would probably stick with an 7,000-8,000 BTU using drawing 7-9 amps. The
specs say that can cool 250 square feet, which I think would make the inside of
a boat cabin quite comfortable. Obviously would only be used during shore power
or while the engine is running (I have a high-amp alternator and a great
inverter on board).
Has anyone done this? Any thoughts?
All the best,
Edd
