I think it doesn't matter which AC unit you turn on... I think any of the 5 will cause the pump to come on, and then the pump will be servicing...
Dunno if called "air handlers" or not, but there's a built in 6-speed blower on each unit pushing hot/cold air through all the ducting. Our...
I'm reasonably sure. Our systems are self-contained Dometic Turbo reverse cycle units, gives AC and/or heat depending on system and thermostat...
Older Viking or Hatteras? Newer Silverton? Latest convertibles were drawn by Blount... -Chris
We've got it down to 2 people. Me at the transfer pump and my flushbox attached to the Groco flush valve, wifey at AC control (first) then...
Our AC systems have only two circuits: refrigerant, and sea water. -Chris
Our boat was originally "wall-to-wall" carpeted in saloon and staterooms (decent quality), with Amtico "wood" in galley and head. A couple years...
I think there might be some step-down (or voltage converter) ACRs or B2B chargers that could maybe take 24V voltage from your engine batteries to...
I gather many installations aren't independent units; ours, for example, is two ACs serviced by a single pump. And then whether or not a small...
Yes. I described that as "pull" in my earlier note. I suspect it depends. Our transfer pump is relatively small, and when I tried to use only...
Close seacock and clean sea strainer bowl/basket. Create a way to supply AF. Pull AF through using the installed AC water pump AND at the same...
And toothbrush, rag on a screwdriver tip, etc. Tin foil wraps around hoses, sometimes slightly easier than masking with tape... -Chris
Generally yes. Look for info on Barnacle Buster or Rydlyme. -Chris
Thanks again for that; our new A-4 looks to be the right size for my intended purpose... and an A-5 would have been too huge to deal with on our...
Thanks for that; very useful. I think the A-5 would be a bit over-the-top too big for us... so good to know an A-4 can also be easily deflated....
Happens I'm just now shopping for a buoy-shaped (round) deflatable fender. Our fenders now are a mixture of TaylorMade Big B and SuperGard...
May have been your previous owner put bromine tablets in once/week or whatever... and that'd be different from occasionally flushing/rinsing with...
Hulls are solid. Unfortunately, the new Silverton (Egg Harbor Yachts) isn't really a great authority on models made under previous ownership. -Chris
FWIW, I've used both Rydlyme and Barnacle Buster. Both worked well, no visible sign of related corrosion. (Although if there has been some ill...
Thanks. I just tried a "macro" autoroute trial in Embark (not premium), from Annapolis to Manteo. The suggested route goes oceanside, way south,...
