Smallest footprint on the market and weighs in at 31.5 lbs. for the unit, and 4.7 lbs for the electrical box! This unit has a rotatable blower and tapers down to a "V" shape for those odd angle discharge installations. We use 4" ducting and recommend a minimum of 2, 4" round supply grills with this installation. This unit will run off the new Honda eu1000i 1,000 watt portable generator, while in cool mode. Another option is to use a Statpower 1,000 Watt Inverter and 400 amp hours of battery power and you can anchor out (on average) for one night. Due to the construction of this unit, electric heat is not an option with this unit. This unit is ideal for the "tight fit" installations and is a welcomed addition to larger vessels for individual climate controlled cabins. On average, This unit is designed to cool cruisers up to 26' and sailboats up to 28'. Running amperage: Cool = 4.4amps, R/C = 5.5amps. Add approximately one amp for the standard seawater pumps. Start up amperage is calculated by running amperage multiplied by 1.8. Includes a programmable digital thermostat. The optional standard installation kit includes Footscoop, seacock, water strainer, dual ducting kit, and electrical connection kit. A deluxe installation kit is also available. All units are available in 220v for an additional $100.00, and require a 72 hour lead time. The Inverter kit and batteries are optional. (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. |
