I put a new 12k in my mainship forward stateroom last year about $1250, looking at replacing the 16k in the main salon this year.

Exactly what I did also.

Ever mount the unit on some dampners? Mine popped a refrigerant line (100* weather and 7 hours from home of course) . I have it on vibration pads now but i`d like to find something spring loaded...just a thought

they come with a thick mounting pad, never used more than that, did some performance boat installs and never had a failure

Great lakes .. not so nice to equipment

the main thing had had to deal with on performance boat apps is the water pickup, most do not want to add a scouped thruhull(understandably) without this style will loose prime to pump when you run, so you have to bleed everytime you use, can be a pain we set up with a bleed valve now and makes it easy

YUp, I have to bleed my strainer for the water level to come up. Joes strainers are higher I don`t think he has that issue.
