Sound like the temperature limit switch which is on top of the compressor. Next chance you get, see if the to of the compressor is red hot when it kicks off... Multipe reasons can cause this situation, but will need a tech to get you back in shape anyway...

Mine is 700.00, full agreed hull value worth more than we have in it... NBOA

Check your tank vent...

Now you need to claim it on your taxes....

I use the 16k for my cockpit, it's a monster of a unit... Off the top of my head, 508 Cubic feet of air on high per minute!!! Remote is great too!!

Apologies for coming off rude, or crass. I had multiple things going on and wanted my experiences documented. The mole has infrared and full Motion Remote capabilities, as well as motion detection with email capabilities, and mobile apps... I don't remember the true setup involved, but the...

This is entirely false... There are many options... http://www.molecamera.com/ Works awesome! Web apps as well. I receive an email picture of motion detection 4 seconds after it sees it... All I will have to do is email or text the picture of whoever is walking on my boat to authorities...

Your right, these things are typicaly installed on chillers on large yachts. When your spending 15k-20k on just the compressors, it makes more sense. Not bad to have though...

Yes, essentially your cycling all the air in bridge more than once every minute. If your delta coming out of the unit is 20 degrees, than essentially the air changes 20 degrees every time it's cycled, meaning less than once every minute. I'm telling you, it's going to be a meat locker if you...

One last thing... I'm thinking that a three way switch is not the way to go. Personally, I would install the system and see how it goes with power managment, then make any small changes near the main breakers as you deem necessary. My take is, you won't need them at all...

Also, you should be able to approximate the square footage of the cooling space. L x W x H. Take that total, and divide that by 1250. That will tell you how many times per minute that entire bridge air is cycling through that unit, the more cycles, the cooler the air will be. Each cycle will...

If that's an accurate number, or even remotely close, you'll be able to maintain any temperature you want, especially if you have it on starting at the beginning of the day. Just remember, thermal mass is your friend or enemy...

CFM on proposed unit?

This is off the main site page for Boat Beacon "N.B. This is not an AIS VHF Transponder. Your boat will not show up on other Ship based VHF AIS systems (unless they are linked to a common Global AIS system)." Unless that captain or harbor pilot is looking at his free or $9.00 app on a 3.5"...

Once again, these will not show up on true AIS broadcast equipment.... These share within their own company/app, and receive TRUE AIS local broadcasts, which are shown together on a single mapping app. You will not be seen by true AIS equipment with these apps...
