Or new Mermaid 5200 btu unit that was rebuilt twice by Mermaid worked when it counted. First off when we arrived in Cobo from San Diego and it was 92 deg it worked fine. We really needed the rest and the Mermaid unit came through and allowed us to rest. Now in Mazatlan Mexico for the past nine days it has worked great. We are off to San Blas next and may attempt to use it on the 2000 Xantrax modified sin wave inverter. We did this once when the shore power plug was accidently pulled and it worked great, even with the digital thermostat. Next test is to see if it will run all night on our 520 amp hour AGM house batteries. The anchorage may be cooler than these marinas as we are blocked in with no breeze, the boat is facing the sun and the breeze is not going in the hatches. On anchorage that will change.
We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documenting our outfitting for this adventure. Also, what works and what is not of value.
Netting added and Mermaid 5200 btu working great
Debbie added the netting so items would not fall on the Mermaid 5200 HVAC unit.
