Which Sea Hawk do you use?  Where are you located? I am using the water based 
Monterey, a harder ablative with marginal results.  Brackish water in mouth of 
river good tidal flow

I had good luck with SeaHawk and where I live has brutal fouling. I got 2 good 
years out of it, year 3 was marginal and I repainted at year 4.

Any listers have experience/opinions on Sea Hawk bottom paints.  I can't say 
which one yet.  Just looking for any information on the brand.

Well, not really.  My marina/shipyard advised me today they were vacating 
Touche's damaged pier (DUH!).  It could take up to a year to repair.  With the 
hurricane's destruction of several marinas, there are no available slips in 
Pensacola.  Fortunately, I still have my slip in Louisiana.  After haul out and 
repair in Pensacola, I'll keep Touche' in Louisiana until the Pensacola slip is 
rebuilt.  The Pensacola Shipyard has said they will honor my right to return.

 

Can't say enough good about Pensacola Shipyard.  First rate folks.

Stus-List Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[Edd Schillay]

Listers,

As some of you already know, we installed air conditioning on the Enterprise a 
couple of months ago. We are currently at the dock on Captiva Island and the 
cabin is a glorious 75 degrees.  According to the installer, at startup and 
maximum compression, the air conditioning on the boat will draw 1400 Watts. 

Years ago, when I repowered the boat with a new Beta 30 engine, I added a 120A 
alternator and a 2000W inverter, mostly so my wife can use her hairdryer when 
under way. 

My AC panel is switchable between Shore Power and the Inverter’ power. 

So here’s the question: Do you think it’s possible to actually run the air 
conditioning with the engine running? The math seems to work, but I am hesitant 
to give it a try. 

And, if it doesn’t work, what would actually happen? Are we talking a tripped 
breaker or something bad like alternator issues. 

Signed,

Clueless in Captiva. 

All the best, 

Edd

That would be a marginal operation at best. The most benign thing that 
would go wrong would be the inverter overheating and shutting down. If 
that doesn't happen, running an alternator that hard for hours on end is 
pretty tough duty, I would not be surprised if the alternator died an 
early death.


The worst case scenario is trying to run the AC at anchor. Long ago I 
dealt with a company that was selling 3 KW AC generators that belted off 
the main engine. End result was people running their engines all night 
to run the AC and carbon fouling them to death.

Thanks. I wasn’t looking to run all night at anchor. I was only thinking if we

to cool down the cabin a little, or at least get some relief standing in front 
of a vent for a short time.

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[T Sutton via CnC-List]

I’d say so. What is the watts drawn by the hairdryer? I just checked my wife’s 
and it was 1600W and I’m guessing yours is probably 12-1500W but that is for a 
relatively short period of time.  If the A/C is peaking at 1400W then it will 
probably start to drain the batteries slowly since the alternator is putting 
out the equivalent of about 1200W.  Subject to rounding error and losses in the 
equipment (Wire runs, inverter etc.) when you step the 12V up to 120V the 
current required is also a factor of ten so it takes 120A at 12V to supply the 
12A at 120V to give you 1400W. Like Joe says you are pretty much running at 
capacity so it may affect the longevity of the equipment and definitely don’t 
let your wife dry her hair if the A/C is running.  LOL

Tom S

[Bill Coleman]

If your inverter is pure sine wave, you would have a better chance. The older 
ones are not, and I know I had to run my microwave three times as long under 
the inverter as shore power.

In the case of your compressor, a non-pure wave might be bad for it.  If it is, 
I would just pay attention to your alternator, see if it is overheating (the 
alt. High temp sensor is good for that) or if it is throwing off bits of your 
belt.

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[Josh Muckley]

Edd,

To Joe's point, 30Hp is ~22000 watts and a typical electrical outlet is
1850 watts.  So the engine has plenty of power to do what you are asking.
The problem with most diesel engine installations is that the engines need
to be run at 80% load for hours in order to prevent cylinder glazing and
carbon fouling.  Your A/C won't even make it to 10% load.

To your point, yes it will probably work.  I don't know if you have ever
reached max output from the alternator but what many people experience is
that the belts slip at max alternator output.  In order to reduce belt slip
they tighten the belt.  This increases belt wear and side loading of the
alternator and main crank bearings.  Better alternative is to upgrade to a
serpentine.

Most people who want to run A/C while away from shore will simply get a
small Honda 2000 generator.  Of course this means gasoline and associated
hazards on board.  Another consideration would be a small marine diesel
generator.  2 or 3 kw are not terribly expensive.

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[Joe Della Barba]

Underway is actually better for the engine. My alternator regulator will 
back off charging if the alternator overheats. Does yours do that? I 
would say go ahead and give it a try and see what happens, but the 
potential for damaging the alternator does exist. If you don't have 
temperature sensing you might get an IR thermometer to check on the 
alternator.


The other way to do this is belt an air conditioner compressor off the 
engine like a car.

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[Dennis C.]

>From my LIMITED experience, a Honda 2000W generally will not run a 16KBTU
AC.  I've heard a Honda 2200 will.  That's how close it is.

The issue is the start up amperage.  The start up amperage surge can,
however, be moderated by the addition of a soft start module.  Basically a
smart capacitor.  Search the internet for "marine air conditioner soft
start" or "marine air conditioner easy start".

Stus-List Restoring scratched cast aluminum

[Dennis C.]

Touche's stem casting got scratched beating up a dock box.  Any good tips
on removing the scratches?  Wire brush?  MAG Wheel cleaner? (The boat will
be repainted so I can use an acid based wheel etching solution before the
repaint although I'd really rather not.)

Stus-List Cylinder glazing

[Fred Hazzard]

Josh mentioned that cylinder glazing can occur if the engine is not run at
80 percent for extended periods of time. We motor out from the dock for 5
or 10 minutes, set the sails and shut down the engine. We get a fairly
heavy blue smoke when the engine is cold.
Question; is there any way to get rid of the glazing short tearing down the
engine?

How we did it with airplanes that had been babied so much the rings 
never seated:


Grab a snack, fill the tanks, and fly about 3 hours at 100% power.

Stus-List Re: Alternator / Inverter / Air Conditioning

[Brian Davis]

Clean the plasma conduits well. Then, send a tachyon pulse thru the
deflector dish when you engage the air conditioner. Remember to divert
power from the transporters and it should work.

[rockland bazemore]

An Ac specialist in our "yacht club" recommended a Dometic soft start

if i wanted to try to run it with my honda 2200. Right now it just
functions as a possible backup anchor.
