I currently have a March MD5LC 870GPH ( https://www.defender.com/product.js...870-gph&path=-1|51|2234226|2234240&id=2205849 ) It usually does ok but I need to barnacle bust twice a season, other's on my dock don't do that ever and only clean the strainer. MY water flow compared to there's is about half.
I have two AC units which are 5/8 inlet/outlet the standard size. The boat came with the March pump and is 3/4 inlet and 1/2" outlet. I have it plumbed with 1" inlet and 3/4 outlet hose but that drops to 5/8 and feeds both AC units with 5/8 lines. I have put in 5/8 brass Y where they split. I want to change to 3/4 line but can't get through the firewall/floor area and is quite the project to do so. I am thinking for now to upgrade the pump to a lager flow rate such as the one ( https://www.defender.com/product.js...536-gph&path=-1|51|2234226|2234240&id=2552150 ) which is 1536GPH.
Just checking what the guys in the hot climates are using? Two pumps individually plumbed I am guessing?
