Hello
The unit is a year or two old. Worked reasonably well when we were up North now that we are in Florida here is the cycle:
It is just a tiny bit cold. I select heat and set the temperature to 70. The unit goes full blast heat mode, temperature inside the boat soars, humidity jumps so high the windows fog. At 77 I can't take it in anymore and I set the unit to dehumidify. The air conditioner kicks on full blast and drops the temperature to 68. Because it's so humid it's now cold and clammy. At 68 it cycles off.
It is now just a tiny bit cold...
I set heat temp to 70 and cold temp to 70. Set the unit to auto. It goes into dehumidity mode and drops the temperature to 68.
I set heat temp to 72 and cold temp to 72. Set the unit to auto. The heat kicks on, humidity soars, at 75 it levels off and cools the boat to 68.
I put it in cool mode, set the temp to 70 and put a blanket on the bed.
The unit is completely incapable of keeping the boat 70 degrees. It has decided that 68 is where it wants to be. The other choice is 85. In essence it has two settings, freeze and fry.
I can't believe I paid $1500 for this P.O.S. does anyone have a line on an aftermarket thermostat that isn't "intelligent"? It clearly has the capacity to turn the boat into a freezer or an oven but the control system is total garbage.
