portable a/c
 

We’re thinking of upgrading to a 33 outlaw or 342 and the wife wants a/c.

Does anyone know anything about portable hand carried air conditioning units. I understand there are some that operate off the batteries. I wonder how quick they would drain the power when anchored? Any help is appreciated

I think very quick, I have a carryon that I might would sell if interested

Here is a picture of what I installed it is actually a unit but I took it apart and installed it.

Flowerchild,
I am not sure what you have but our 302 has factory air. I just ordered a EU2000i to run it.

steel that looks great, how does it work?

Liquid...do you not like yours?

Did you check out their website? It works off of a cooler with ice and it circulates water through the ice and then it goes through a heat exchanger and a fan blow air through the exchanger which make cold air. It works great and with the room in a 33 or 342 you should have o problem with space.

i LIKE IT, i JUST DONJN'T USE IT MUCH sorry

Liquid,

I may be interested in your portable AC. How much do you need for it?

I'll take 350 plus shipping,let me know if you want some pics

How much are they new?

Please send or post some pics as well.

800 on sale, I have the canvas boot also, I'll get some pics, My wife always insists on a hotel at the last minute, so I'll sell it and put that towards something else, like stainless exaust tips on the new ride

I'm mainly interested in a portable dc unit like mentioned above. Is yours a carry on AC unit? I made one of those out of a $100.00 room air conditioner.

Mine is made specificly for a marine hatch with the controls inside the hatch, no biggie if you don't want it, its worth the money to me just working on the boat in my shop for somewhere to cool down, here is a pick any way

Liquid asset, what does a unit like that weigh?

Here is another portable unit.

www.kooleraire.com

Don't waste your money on that thing. I bought one and it sucks. If it is above 60 degrees in your cabin its useless, your ice melts to fast.

Did you try ice in milk jugs or 2 liter bottles?

I would say about 40 or 50 pounds

Two 8lb bags of ice, in the bag, frozen!!

Did you try putting salt in the ice? Doesn't it make it colder or something. I got one of those koolerair things last season but I have never used it because I could not find the right cooler for it.

I doubt it's very easy to get but what about dry ice in a sealed container? It suppose to melt faster but maybe a layer of it under the bags/containers of ice will last longer.

Sounds like a lot of trouble for ac, when you could spened a few hundred for portable or 1200 for installed ac

Liquid, where can you get AC installed for $1200? I would do that in a heartbeat but since my boat wasn't ordered with it my dealer quoted me for over 4x's that with adding shore power. They claim the air unit is over $2000 alone.

Steelware,
regarding the bayair a/c, I asked earlier, how does it work and what I meant was..does it work well?

I had visited their web site and am interested if it can keep it cool for more than one or two hours. Thanks for your help.

It works really well. We can stay on the boat overnight in the summer without the ice running out. We usually freeze one gallon freezer bags solid and use those. I have a 24 quart cooler that we use.

I meant permenant, installed yorself, not including shore power. There is a place www.oceanbreezeac.com 9,000 btu with digital therma. for 1399 with every thing

This is a pic of the inside view of our portable....
