A/C

[gonesailing13]

Have an A/C unit on our boat that came with it when we bought it. I’m guessing it’s 10-15 yrs old. Works great but was wondering if there’s any maintenance that should be done on it. Do they need to be recharged at any point or anything else to keep it going for another 15.

If they're water cooled, use a cleaner like Barnacle Buster to clean the heat exchanger. Search the forum for threads on how to.

What they both said, and put pan tablets in the drip pan after ensuring the drain lines are clean and clear. Spray some Corrosion X or similar on the metal parts around the compressor. The above issues (long a problem before my custody began) killed the marine air conditioner on my boat.
