The Electric heat option is not available on this model. Running amperage: Cool = 12 amps. Add approximately one amp for the standard seawater pumps. Start up amperage is calculated by running amperage multiplied by 1.8. On average, This unit is designed to cool cruisers up to 40' and sailboats up to 45'.

PUMP NOT INCLUDED A sea water pump is required for each Mermaid Marine Air Conditioner, but is sold separately, depending upon the application. When it comes to marine air conditioning, selecting the most appropriate pump can be as important as selecting the most appropriate air conditioning unit for your boat. To determine the best pump for your application take the gallons per hour of the pump as the original reference point. For example, the March LC-2CMD pump is a 300 gallons per hour pump at a one foot vertical lift and the March LC-3CMD pump is a 510 gallons per hour pump at a one foot vertical lift. Each air conditioner requires a minimum of 250 gallons per hour to go through the heat exchanger (water coil) of the unit for optimal heat transfer (4.16 gallons/minute). In each air conditioner installation there is certain to be some vertical lift and horizontal length of hose. Use the calculation that every 10 feet of horizontal hose is equivalent to a one foot vertical lift. Using the lift chart below, ensure that you have the minimum requirement at the air conditioner. | MARCH # | 1-ft. | 3-ft. | 5-ft. | 9-ft. | 13-ft. | Max Lift | | LC-2CMD | 300 | 260 | 210 | ---- | ----- | 13-ft. | | LC-3CMD | 510 | 490 | 405 | 365 | 140 | 19.5-ft. |
