My AC just quit working on a long voyage from Detroit to Green Bay and back in our Grand Banks 32. It flips the circuit breaker when i turn it on and then select either heat or cool. We have a 30 amp shore power cord and this has never happened before and it has been working well, but we have noticed that the compressor is getting louder over the summer. We are thinking about installing a new unit because of the age of the existing one and can do this ourselves with our team of friends. If we do, I would like to put in a unit that is at least a good for cooling the boat as the one we have. The AC, installed in 1999 is a Lumaire Marine Model LPSC-16HLA Serial 20937-01 c.amps 12.5 H.amps 14.5. 115 volts R22:15.0 It has a six-inch duct and the water hoses appear to be 3/4 inch wthout disconnecting them to get a good measurement. It is cooling/heating reversible and has done a good job, although is at the top end of its capacity when it is blazing hot outside. We have fabric window covers all the way around outside and they help a lot. Inside curtains alone are almost useless Anybody know what the BTU Rating was on this unit? I do not want to get into 50-amp power on a boat this old. So. anybody know this old unit? What would you recommend because it obviously is no longer on the market? It has the MARINEARRRRR. logo on the control panel.
