So a mechanic friend and I were talking and we can't figure why don't boats use an auto type a.c. compressor and system to cool the boat while underway? I understand the condenser would have to be different sense it is normally cool with a fan and air cooled on the front of a automobile. But onboard a.c. uses water to cool that part. So Thats the only difference we can see. In our minds though Thats the only difference. Seems like that would be better than have to run the genny just to have a.c.?
Are we missing something here. And before y'all hammer me, we aren't liveaboards yet but in the process of searching and if its possible, maybe we could try it out... Just thinking outload. We were having a few drinks and the subject came up. But neither of us could answer this. So a light went on, I'll ask this forum. They know more than us..
