My Beneteau 373 "2007" AC unit is not pumping water overboard. I can't find the valve associated with this unit nor any advice in the owner's manual related to the problem. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

First thing to check

Timsail,
I have this problem from time to time on my B361. When sailing in rough seas, the raw water line drains and loses its prime. So, make sure your through-hull valve is open and that water is flowing to the A/C raw water pump. My hose to the pump has a small seacock right under the pump so that I can bleed the air out of the line. I hope yours does, too.
If that is not the problem, you may have a problem in the electronics that is not telling the raw water pump to kick on.

Thanks Agaliha for the info. I can't locate the the thru-hull seacock intake or outake that feeds the cruisair. Beneteau dealer said it was next to the engine transmission - but I did not locate the associated valve there.

not sure

where it is on your boat. Mine is in the center of the boat just aft of the keel bolts.

On the 373 the AC thru hull is roughly below the unit, under the table. Port side, near the bilge.

If opening the small vent valve does not clear the air pocket loosen the filter while the through hull is open and the AC running just briefly. That should do the job.

Make sure the filter is clean. It can get plugged up depending upon your water conditions.
