About one month I managed to get the Cruisair 12,000btu turbo air conditioner working on my new to me Beneteau 31. Last week I left the unit on dehumidify mode. The unit should have ran for about 30 minuets every 12 hours, so not a lot of run time. Yesterday when I got to the boat and turned the AC unit to cool mode the compressor started making a loud rattling noise and it did not cool at all. I'm done working on this thing, time for a new unit.
The space that I have to work with is odd shaped and a normal unit with a square drain pan won't fit, so I'm thinking about another turbo unit. I would also like to take this opportunity to upgrade to a 16,000btu unit. It's slightly bigger in ever dimension but I think I can deal with this.
Any suggestion?
Good place to purchase from or avoid?
