</div>I also covered the ac vent hose with a roll of stick on duct insulation
tape. Made a big difference as the hose puts out a lot of heat. I put
insulation in the roof vents to keep sun out and window tint in the hatch
covers also.

Yes..same situation here in North carolina. Went to Costco and bought a 14000
but ac and heater unit. With 100 degree days it does alright. Port shades keep
a lot of the solar heat out. Biggest problem was the heat coming out the
exhaust. I enclosed the vent hose that came with it in a 5" dryer hose
also.this kept the heat isolated. Better insulation.
Installed on a 38 LF. The unit is located by the quarter berth

Subject: Stus-List Portable Air Conditioner -- Anyone try it?
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
