- This week's video shows how I had to replace a failed Cruisair unit with a MarinAire that was shipped to me in 2 business days! Not a bad job to replace either! Maybe showing this can help somebody out. Enjoy!
I ordered direct and had a great experience: www.marinaire.com/

Well, done! I just replaced our dometic AC on our 39 Tiara, and it was a bear of a job as there was very little room to work. I must say you made it look easy! Cheers.
This one is easy-ish to get to. Some of my other units would not have been as easy. Thanks for watching! I’m glad I made it look easy!
Replaced my old 16k CTU CruiseAir with the Marinaire 16k yesterday. Took me about 5 hours but a lot of it was staring at the wiring and wondering what wire goes where. So far so good...
The job seemed more intimidating than it was (for me). I’ve since had to do another one and so it went faster knowing what I was facing. Good on you for tackling this project on your boat!
Great video!!
Thanks!
Enjoy the benefits of your work well done
Thanks 👍
Congratulations on the replacement of the A/C!! Great job!!
Thanks!
Lucky you with the ease of replacement. Glad you had plenty of room to do the replacement and all hoses and wires were of sufficient length.
Thanks! Not a bad job (this time).
Amazing how easy the package units are.
They are!
Nice work! Very smooth and stress-free for a boat project.
Thanks!
Great boat work video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job! Excellent.
Thank you! Cheers!
Ok, now I’m impressed. I figure that if I can replace 2 vacuflush pumps then I can do a/c units.
Totally! Especially easy as a self contained unit. Hardest part for me was finding the right one and getting it delivered to where we were!
Nice job. You will see a big deference. your amp usage will be much lower and you will find that it's to cold. Even when it's a 102 out side. Stay Safe Excellent videos No Drama, Good Boat, Clean content 😊
Thanks!
Might have a new career! Super Looper AC replacement. Don't think they all have that much room to work though 😉
Even on our boat with 5 units, this is the easiest one to get to.
Nice Job!
Thanks!
You made that boat project look easy!
Some go that way, others not so much!
@@onFIREfamily not to be pessimistic, but rarely do my boat projects work out as I envisioned!
Would you ever consider a portable a/c unit? Pros/cons? Seems like the size/versatile of portables could be a way to go. Nice video tho!!🍺🍺
If the boat wasn’t set up for AC, I’d consider it. Just clunky and in the way as well as being a power hog (I’d guess). If you have the space and are plugged in to shore power it should totally work.
@@onFIREfamily Thanks, just something i was thinking about as a back up plan if need be. Thanks!
I have 3 portable units on my boat to use as backups and dehumidifiers. In Florida, sometimes you need extra during the summer months.
Buy a volt tester, buy a volt tester, BUY A VOLT TESTER!
Like a cat, I'm on my 6th life.....
On the hard, Ed
A useful tip for sure!
208 240 V ??? not 120?
The boat panel is 240V. The unit can take 208-240V. Our cockpit AC units (aftermarket) are 120V. Just depends how the boat is configured.
what was wrong w the old one ?
Compressor seized up.
May all succeeding repairs be that painless! Although I'm pretty sure the checkbook felt it. . .
edit: I just looked at the MarinAire site and the price tag for that heatpump wasn't NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be. I might have been tempted to go with the next size up (if it would fit and didn't draw too much more electricity) since it's only a $100 difference
Yes, MarineAire are pretty reasonable and easy to pick the right unit. I had the hardest time trying to figure out Cruisair replacement for their own part. And more expensive.
