Washer/Dryer Combo for 50' Post?

They used the traditional apartment style washer on bottom and dryer on top. I believe you have to remove the door frame to get it out.

Can't help you with the washer but congratulations on the 50.

Different boat, but...

We had to first remove the door, and then the door frame... latter both screwed and glued. PITA, but doable without damage (heat gun, putty knife...). That was to get the unit into its cubby.

Then there's a removable side panel in our adjacent stateroom... looks like a "wall" but it's actually installed with 4 spring-type door latches... so it's just a matter of pulling the sucker hard enough to get it off. That gave me room to make the connections.

I have a 2000 50. I replaced the original Kenmore washer (Not made anymore) with an RCA 2.0 cubic foot washer. It fit in the existing space with a bit of modification to the base as it was a little too tall. My original Kenmore Dryer still works well. I would be happy to share the details of the modifications to the base if you decide to proceed. I can also send you some pics if you would like. Note that this same washer is also branded as Magic Chef...

Just wondering, where does the hot humid dryer exhaust dump out ? I had one on my boat, like your Post , old GE unit double stacked. It was a hot humid mess when drying clothes, and the exhaust set up ''Ocean Yachts'' did was not so good. Nor could I ever see it being any good due to tight spaces. I removed it all, put in a freezer and nice storage space. Are the new units better designed now ?

The Combo washer/dryer are dreadful. They don't a wash or dry in any whichway.

On a boat we get loads of damp towels, they need doing 10 more often than a deep clean.

Big dryer/smaller washer.

I plumbed our dryer (located in the head cabinet above the toilet on a 43) to use the same hull exhaust as the head exhaust fan. A one-way valve prevents the dryer exhaust from back-flowing into the shower (where the head exhaust intake is). We have run the dryer and it dries well and there is no humid air pushed into the head.

LOLOLOL, There is a Miele on one yacht I run. It has a bin that has to be dumped, it is on the top of the front of the dryer, which is above my head and I'm 6'3. It doesn't dry very well, and pulling the bin out to dump it is ALWAYS a fun experience.

Is there room if you relocate the heater? That's a relatively easy thing to move.

A Washer/dryer seems like a very cool option on a boat under 60’

But we hardly ever use ours on our 46 Post

our dryer is ventless but there is an exhaust fan in the compartment that we turn on when we do use it.

We lived aboard for about a year and did laundry on land.

These small apt size units are really only effective for small loads and occasional use.
