system must be activated when the air conditioner is operating.
It is normal for some water to be in the pan whenever the air
conditioner has been used.  The condensation pan should be
checked periodically to make sure it is draining properly.  The
drain  hoses,  condensation  pan  and  sump  should  be  ﬂushed
clean if they become restricted by mold or debris.

You should always keep the cabin door closed when operat-
ing the air conditioner. If the cabin door is left open, it could
cause the air conditioner units to run continuously and not cycle
enough to defrost the coiling condenser. This could cause the
coils to develop enough ice to reduce the unit’s ability to cool
the boat.

The intake line for the pump is equipped with a sea strainer that
must be checked for debris frequently and cleaned as neces-
sary.  The procedure for cleaning the strainer is the same as for
the generator sea strainer  Refer to the Electrical Systems and
Raw Water System chapters and the for information on the air
conditioning pumps and cleaning the sea strainers.

You also should refer to the air conditioner owner’s manual for
additional operating and maintenance instructions.

Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a cooling me-

dium.  The boat must be in the water and the raw
water supply system must be properly activated
prior to use.  Operation without proper cooling
could cause the air conditioning circuit breaker to
trip and could cause system damage.  Always check
for proper water ﬂow out of the air conditioning
pump discharge thru-hull when the air conditioner
is operating.
