I have two air conditioners on board, forward and aft. Forward is a Marine Aire and aft is a cruise aire. BOTH are 16,000 btu's. The Marine Aire's sea water pump is no longer viable. It was 1000 gallons per hour. The cruise Aire's pump is 500 gallons per hour.
Ok, here is the question. May I replace the Marine Aire's 1000 gallon per hour pump with a 500 gallon per hour pump? If so, what is the difference? Everything I have researched says 500 gallon per hour is good for a 16,000 btu. Thoughts? Suggestions?
