I haven't had time to investigate my AC problem sufficiently but will
address it next weekend when I get to the boat.
The AC appears to be a Cruisair DX unit, relatively small.

The unit didn't work when I got the boat. When winterizing we could not blow
air through the seawater coil. I will verify that the pump - a good March
unit - works.
Possible reasons:
1) Dirt dauber or other nests in vent
2) The seawater supply does not have a strainer. - possibly the seawater
coil is clogged with mud from sitting 'a little too close to the bottom'.
3) There is some valve in the line (integral to the AC unit) that I have not
discovered yet.
4) Dometicmites or other some other unknown infestation.
I suspect I could call the Dometic Service Department but offering problems
with sufficent information to solve them seems more the order of the day.
I'll know more next week but I though someone of you might be familiar with
the unit.
thanks
