COOL COCKPIT AIR CONDITIONER
(TYPICAL)
The cool cockpit option consists of an additional cooling
unit, helm vents, and a cockpit “Elite” thermostat
control.
To operate the cool cockpit:
1. Ensure the A/C seacock is opened.
2. Check the A/C sea water strainer for debris.
3. Activate the cool cockpit breaker at the AC distribution
panel. This will start the A/C pump. Make sure water is
seen at the thru-hull fi tting. It may take a short period to
cycle.
4. Locate the Elite control behind the starboard storage
cabinet door (see photo above) and follow the operating
instructions as outlined in the A/C section in chapter 4.
5. By activating the aft air conditioner additional air fl ow
is present at the starboard helm through the vent located
there.
6. Install the cockpit canvas to maximize use of the cool
cockpit.
7. Adjust the cockpit and helm vents as needed.
8. The condenser/compressor for the cool cockpit
A/C unit is located in the bilge. Periodically, check the
condensation tray drain for debris (see photo) and pour
a measured amount of premixed in the tray to purge the
A/C drain line.
9. There is a return air fi lter located on the condenser unit.
Once a month clean the fi lter by rinsing with water, air dry
and reinstall.
Read the A/C owner’s manual for more information.
