Two boats on my pier have window units in the companionway. Cheap enough to try 
and see how it does.

Edd,

I've got two Cruiseair units on the 44.  If I start them in the a.m. they keep 
the boat cool even in the worst of the heat.  If I wait until the boat is hot, 
it takes a long time to cool off the cabin.  I'm not sure one 8000 BTU unit 
will do the job.

Edd,

I just saw one installed to cool a ~400 sq. ft. meeting room.  It may have been 
larger than 8,000 BTU/hr. but was much better than the window unit it replaced.

Good luck,

Ron

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
