I am looking for information on what other owners do concernin running the A/C units on their boats while not on the boat. I am located in the coastal bend of Texas on the Gulf Coast.
Do you leave yours running on a higher setting, turned off completely or something entirely different? Currently I have mine on a dehumidification setting that runs each unit two hours a day at twelve hour intervals. In the weather we are currently having the internal temperature inside the boat can reach and occasionally exceed 100 degrees.
My primary concerns are issues with the cooling pumps, the through hull becoming blocked by a piece of trash or becoming clogged with grass and just overworking the compressors and causing premature failures. There is also the risk of a cooling hose rupturing and then pumping salt water into the bilge.
Looking forward to hearing from other owners.
