795 Air conditioning system

[davidel]

Just in March of this year I have ordered a 795 series 2, as I live in Florida I have included an AC system in the configuration. Could any of you owners of this model of boat comment on: location and quantity of outlets and return (photos), installed cooling capacity in BTU, location of equipment and performance in general?

As additional information, the capacity of the equipment  included in the initial configuration is 7,000BTU and it only has two outlets: one in the saloon and one in the cabin; I asked the dealer to change the equipment for one of 12,000BTU and to add another outlet in the saloon and they replied that it is not possible, neither one nor the other for reasons of space.


UPDATE!!!

Installed the Air Conditioner system (12V; 12,000BTU), two lithium batteries (250 AH each one), charger and inverter (12V to 110V). Plus three extra outlets: 2x 110V (wheelhouse and under sink) plus 1x 12V socket (Stern). By MABRU (https://mabrustore.com/).

                            Congragulations. I recall that earlier a forum member installed  himself, a 12000 unit, by cutting the storing space next to the fridge, completely out like a box.  In this way, a large area down below was exposed. As an extra he is able to use the storing box on top again. 4 clamps hold the box in place and he can reach his unit under anytime easily.  What he has done is similar to the placement of the boiler by the factory. That is cutting the kitchen floor and reaching to the empty space down over the hull.

If anyone following this thread is looking for an AC unit, I have a Dometic DTU8 for sale. I removed it from where it was installed behind the fridge as described, with a vent in the cabin and one in the salon.  It was good cooling for us, but there are not that many days we would need it on the dock, where we needed shore power to run it.  We're installing a diesel heater instead to extend our season in the spring and fall.

I have everything you need to do the install (more info here vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/bpo/d/squamish-marine-air-conditioning-unit/7468375949.html)

I can ship it in North America pretty reasonably ($100-250)
