The 12,000 btu Mermaid AC in our O'Day 272 freezes up and ceases to cool the boat....did it
twice this week....when it does this it ceases to cool anything and we were close to 100 degrees
every day this weekend....I then have to put a fan in front of the grill and it eventually thaws and
runs properly again, until or it refreezes and we repeat the exercise. When we arrived at the boat on Friday afternoon it was 102 in the cabin. It promptly cooled down to around 82 degrees and then continued to cool to around 70 for sleeping. Saturday and today it froze up again....I can get an AC fellow to the boat, but just wondered what could be the cause of ice build-up on the fins/grills? Thanks for your thoughts, Patrick
