Our Mirage 5000 btu window A/C unit is keeping the boat at about 52% humidity and about 76 degrees F. That is perfect for our boat. Keeps any moisture from creating mold or mildew.
July 2019 -We are
currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)
While house sitting at a El Tigre golf course condo by our boat at Paradise Village Marina, we had a perfect opportunity to get the Window A/C unit in the salon hatch set up and tested out. We are close to the boat and go there each day.
We have it run for an hour every four hours. We set the temperature low enough so it will never reach temperature and turn off in that hour. We also have a fan we put on the deck in the salon facing forward to move air around and it is connected to the timer also and runs the same time the A/C is running.
The box which the A/C unit sits in is split so the hot air and cold do not mix.
You see the cold side.
You see the cold side.
Here you see both sides. The water it removes goes out a hose
we connected to the A/C unit and over the side of our boat.

And both sides again. You cannot see it but the cold side vents are up by the towel blowing out cold air. The A/C unit housing is still not completely done but it is working fine in this setup so we have been doing other things😊
