Mermaid Marine Air include the original 15' cable, what are we supposed to do with that? eBay maybe??
2012 - Currently at Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA
We did not know it but adding thermostat cabling to the power supply for the Mermaid AC\Heat is not straight forward for digital thermostats. A while back I had called and told them we wanted to extend the cable. They said sure and sold us a 15’ extension. When we installed the thermostat on the 5200 btu unit we used the 15’ extension. Then I had to call and ask how to connect the extension to the existing cable coming out of the power supply to extension cable that is going to our digital thermostat. “Oh, you cannot do that on the digital thermostats” they said. OK then now what. Well, we had to send the power supply back to Mermaid and then installed a longer cable, well the 1200 btu power supply.
As it turns out we did not need longer cable on the 5200 btu unit so we re-snaked the power supply cable to the thermostat in the bed area. Just a lot of redo work that was not that easy. The existing cable was 15’ and the extension cable was 15’ so either one worked.
We then sent Mermaid back the extension 15’ cable. They did not charge us a re-stoking fee and gave us credit for it. We also included the power supply for the 1200 btu Mermaid unit as we wanted a 30’ cable on it. We got it back for a charge and credit for extension cable and it cost us shipping.
All set now for this re-do. Geeez!
