Nice deal on a great boat. Good luck.....
|
Wow, what a great ride! I am in love but do have some questions. The AC is not pumping water when plugged into shore power. the valve under the cabin step is open but the pump doesn't come on when the unit is running and I can hear the compressor running. Any thoughts besides replacing the pump? If so where is the best deal on one? 2nd the boat sounds sooo much better without silent thunder! Thanks for all the threads that gave me the courage to remove it! Here is a short video at the dock that a friend took this weekend. Thanks Again!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMzKaJHxcoM If the pump comes on and pumps no water, you have the same problem I did. I contacted Monarch (pump MFG) and Formula many times to fix the problem. This pump is not a self priming pump. It needs water to be at the pump in order for it to suck. I was told that every time you take the boat out of the water, the water may drain out of the hose and create an air space. When you put the boat back in the water, this air space in the hose prevents water from entering into the pump, sometimes. I decided to make up my own solution. I installed a T in line just before the pump. I run a hose up 2' and installed a 1/2 turn valve. Now when my pump does not prime on its own, I pour a cup of water down the hose which goes directly into the pump. Works every time. I use my A/C all the time out here. |
enjoy it! nice boat for sure!

There is a bleeder valve (or should be ) under the cabin step. When you turn the AC on open the valve to bleed the air out

Thanks guys, found a crack in the pump motor housing. looks like i will be hunting a new one. It's a March LC-3CP. Anyone know who has a deal on them?

For the AC.....if you close the seacock before you pull the boat out of the water then no air enters the line. No need to do anything the next time you need it except open the seacock again (that's what I have been doing the last couple years).
