3000 EXPRESS
12.4 Air Conditioner (Optional)
The air conditioning unit is the reverse cycle type and
operates on 110-volt AC power. The unit is equipped with
reverse cycle heat and can be operated as a cooling or
heating unit. It is protected by the accessory breaker in the
110-volt breaker panel. To operate, make sure the thru hull
valve for the air conditioner raw water supply pump is on.
Turn the air conditioner breaker in the AC breaker panel to
the “ON” position. The unit then will be controlled by the
air conditioning control panel in the cabin. When acti-
vated, water should continuously flow from the overboard
drain thru hull. See the Raw Water System chapter and the air conditioner owner’s manual for
additional operating and maintenance instructions.
The air conditioning unit is installed below the rear seat of the dinette. To avoid damage to the air
conditioner, you should make sure that no items are stored in this compartment if the air
conditioning option is installed in your boat.
Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a cooling medium. The boat must be in the
water and the raw water supply system must be properly activated prior to use.
Operation without proper cooling could cause the air conditioning circuit breaker
to trip and could cause system damage. Always check for proper water flow out
of the air conditioning pump discharge thru hull when the air conditioner is
operating.
12.5 V-Berth
A large v-berth is located in bow area of the cabin forward of the dinette and hanging locker. There
are storage compartments below hatches under each v-berth cushion Daylight and fresh air is
provided to this area by an overhead opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided by two 12-volt
lights on the forward bulkhead.
