Default Air condition

Looking for input from other owners that have AC cabin. How cool can you get/keep the cabin in the summer? I can get the cabin to 76 at night, but only in the low 80's during the day. It's 92-95 degrees here with 100%humidity, heat index 105-110.
Low 80's is still a nice break during a hot day, but I was hoping to get the cabin colder at night.
Currently running on shorepower, generator is one problem after another. It's coming out this week for repairs.

I had it on the 311 I just sold and whatever you se the temp. at thats how cold it would get no matter how hot it was outside. I loved it and everyone would give me **** for it but once they slept in the boat over night they wanted one.

from my old 382:
Above 95 made it tough to get below 75 in the cabin during the day but after 7:00 it would start to drop and I could get it in the high 60's. 80-85 at night meant I needed flannel sheets it would get so cold!!

I had the same problem till I had the temp sensor moved from air intake area in unit to outside of unit. I have 3 units on my 45 and this weekend we had actual temp's of 104.
Cabins were at 72 during day, 66 at night. Also might want to get your freon check.

If it is freezing up it may be a air flow issue. The forward ducts may be mashed. The ice will plug the coil and everthing will stop. Mine is dead now. I'm thinking trash can and new unit.
