Hello,
I have a DeFever 53 and would like to gently replace all the AC units on the boat. All (5) are reaching a mature age of 30 and they are noisy, and power hogs. They work, but my fear is when needed... they may not be there for me.
My first foray into this rabbit hole is replacing the unit in our salon. The current unit has the condensation line tapped directly into the base of the coils but the new unit I purchased (Dometic) just has a tap attached to the outer pan. Therefore, there will always be moisture sitting in the pan.
It this the NEW way of doing things? Are there alternatives? I am not excited about stagnate water either in my bilge or my stainless AC unit water pans.
What say you?
Thanks,
Rusty and Kris
