Mount the unit level with the compressor at the bottom. The unit may be bulkhead or platform mounted. Rubber Wellnut inserts are installed on the bottom and back of the condensing unit to attach to brackets or shelving. The Wellnut require
Air and Water Cooled
The condensing unit should be mounted with the compressor at the bottom parallel to the boat’s water line at rest. Air is drawn through the unit and discharges at the fan screen on the upper left side. Cooling water from an air conditioning system manifold or separate pump may be connected to the water fittings on the left side.
Installation Requirements
•Never block the inlet nor outlet. Service access and installation requires that the front and left end (inlet/outlet side) be exposed. The duct hose will require 4" of clearance past the end of the unit.
•Provide for driest, coolest air for intake. Use standard 4" duct hose to draw air in from the cabin area to insure the coolest, driest air supply. Intake ducting from the exterior of the boat may cause damp salt air to be drawn in which will reduce unit life. For intake or exhaust through a finished panel, order a flange grill.
•Discharge does not need ducting if a vent in the area allows warm air to escape. An
•Total combined air duct length for intake and discharge should not exceed six feet.
