My Hunter 33 (2005) has the original Marine Air SVCD16K/1 unit that neither heats nor cools any longer. I’ve checked with Dometic who walked me through the reset procedure, which didn’t make any difference. I’ve had a marine AC tech look at it and has confirmed it has lost all Freon but is unaware of where the leak is. He has offered to dig into it, based on his hourly rate to try and troubleshoot further, however his recommendation is a new unit.
I‘ve been considering the Webasto FCF Platinum 16K however have been advised of poor support in the US. His recommendation is either the Dometic Turbo, MarinAire or Marine Air refurb kit. I’m trending away from a refurb kit and find the Dometic Turbo is simply too much money and actually, there is a sourcing problem as well. So that leaves MarinAire or the Webasto.
The reviews on the Webasto are typically very good and also carries a 2-year warranty as opposed to 1-year on the MarinAire.
Has anyone replaced their Dometic with either a MarinAire or Webasto in a similar sized Hunter? Would welcome any feedback.
