My mechanic says he can find a clean, used, generic not Maxum air conditioning unit that installs under the first step down the companionway on a 3200 SCR.
Any blueprints, schematics, advice, general knowledge of whether the boat has ducting pre-installed. I see a register or return up on the forward berth.
I am very familiar with the air handler and compressor on every system except marine. Anyone care to explain how the system works?
Marine air conditioner units are all in one units. The return is typically just a grill to the cavity that the A/C unit is in and there are ducts for the supply. The condenser is a liquid heat exchanger what uses sea water to carry the heat away. The sea water is provided by a seacock and 12V pump to pump water through the HE then it exits the boat through a above water thru hull fitting.
Maxum didn't make the air conditioner. They typically installed Marine Air Systems (Dometic). If the vents are in place, I assume they pre-ran the duct work as well. I had a acquintance with a 1996 3200 and his AC was under the stairs. There were return vents on the first and second riser.
