Nice. Stay coo, that's the key !! l Love the channel. I'm still roughing it, in the Bahamas with my "old school" (1986) 25 SeaVee, (total fe-fit in 2018), center console with 250 eTec (on the transom), 2.5 NM/Gal. cruise with custom canvas, fore and aft. Sadly NO A/C !! I stay on the boat for weeks at a time. single-handed.

I just found your channel and have a lot of catching up to do! I had a Defiance 220EX before moving to Florida and after seeing all the awesome things you have done/are doing to your boat, I wish I still had my pilot house. Quite honestly, I could not have imagined that the basic boat I had could have been developed into such a luxury vessel.
Yes cap with very little we have a yatch quality boat in a low budget , The only thing everything is limited Like the water supply and other things other things but for 4 to 5 days it's an excellent boat to explore areas, And welcome to my channel captain👍🛥🏝
Nice job routing the ducts to that window AC. That lets you locate the AC anywhere there is space for it. These little window ACs have the advantage of being able to run on your little 2,000 watt generator. Its so nice that your boat has an enclosed cabin so you can drive while in the air conditioning. Its the perfect upgrade for your style of boat.
Yes I have navigated over 6 hours with the air conditioner on on the cabin when the ocean is calm and it's been great is one of the best features on my boat and it only cost $140 air conditioner and ductwork and a blower so we looking at total of 350 2 air condition my boat I think it's really cheap option I think a marine air could cost close to $3,000
Very impressive, well executed installation. A manufacturer installed a/c option (if even available) would have been quite costly. Awesome job ! Enjoy your cool pilot house !
I’ve been trying to figure out how to install an AC in my cuddly cabin and you’re vídeo really have me a good idea on how to proceed! Your attention to details is awesome ….hope I can do something close to what you did ! Thanks for sharing your project ! 👍🏻🙌🏻

Great install. I had a 2858 Command Bridge Bayliner and always wanted to put a/c in the boat. You are going to laugh but I used two fans. LOL. You made it look so easy.
Here’s your MAN Card punched. That was amazing to watch you build this. Tell me the Factory has reached out to you and will install your creation in THIER factory builds…..
Awesome Captain I hope everything goes well and if you like to use the same blower I place the link in the description below is an awesome blower is 350 CFM which is very powerful and is ok with heat
Your very very talented. Amazing and helpful video. I plan on buying a Parker 2120 for my retirement boat. Your videos are wonderful and informative. 👍👍👍👍
That is awesome that you want to get a pilot house but before you do check out this video So you can see the quality control this boats have th-cam.com/video/9Klne1ssh7k/w-d-xo.html And after watching the video let me know what you think captain
@@OutOnTheReef I am also in Tampa Bay area. I use Ft DeSoto boat ramp many times. It's a bit crowded during the weekends. Your videos are great I've been watching since 2018. 👍
@@OutOnTheReef yes. Agree. The work one mine is going to. Just put some pictures of was done today. One my chanel. Can I wask wath is that white material you use?
@@farolnortefarol1229 it's called starboard it's awesome to build Marine stuff because it lasts forever and I'll check out your channel to see the pictures now captain
Well thought out and very nicely done. I would be tempted to add an opening top hatch and a CoolBoat AC adapter. Though pricey the hatch would be nice to have and the AC unit could be left ashore.
He did a beautiful job, anyone wanting to do the same, hot air rises , spread the 2 holes out further and place the warm hose on the top and the AC will thank you
Nice neat installation. You may regret gluing the trim pieces on the front when you need to remove the unit for repair/adjustment. And with a boat there is always repair/adjustment. You could consider velcro or screws with caps.
You're right and that's a great idea but I want to secure the AC really good for ocean navigation but it's not a big deal I just have to break the aluminum bracket and place a new one afterwards
@@OutOnTheReef Seems like you are very "secure" conscious. The sign of an experienced sailor who has seen some rough weather. I was impressed at how well you secure your addons.
Awesome job Capt! I am attempting to do the same thing you did on my 2320. Your video is great! I should have it installed in no time if I follow your video. I am having some trouble finding the ductwork piece you installed on the back of the seat. What is that called? I’m not sure what to search for. Also, how many BTU does your air conditioner put out? I’ve watched all of your videos and the AC looks like a must. Thank you! Keep up the good work making great content.
Job well done. I don't think that factory installed AC would have been any better. Lucky for me, I live on the largest fresh water lake in the world. Heat is needed way more than AC. :)
Would it work if you just ducted the hot air out of the boat and let it bring in air from inside the cabin to cool the condenser ? Isn’t that how the portable roll around units work ?
NICE JOB!!! Was kinda worried about your techniq at first but ya nailed it! Only thing I would have done different would be the duct work. They make an insulted version or you could have wrapped it yourself. That stuff is gonna sweat like crazy possibly causing water damage over time.
The exhaust hoses don't sweat because it's hot air coming out and fresh are coming in already tried it for three nights continuously and there was no issue with condensation or anything like that
Cap, this is an amazing project. Im also following moose on the loose’s mini split. Where can I get the insulated back board you used and all the other materials you used ? I saw the links to the ductwork and the ac in the description but dont know where to het the other materials. Thanks !!
Awesome captain and I got the materials at air conditioner supply store and I hope your modification Air conditioner of your boat comes out great captain👍
Awesome idea I have a 24 foot wellcraft walk around and I am going to try this, where did you put the exhaust fan? I see it listed under the video on amazon but didn't see it in the video.
Hey Captain, would you happen to have a link to those plastic vents with the flap? My marine AC is getting old and in need of replacement and I think I'm going to do an install like you as my boat is also a trailered boat and I'd like to be able to run the AC on the trailer so I don't die of heat stroke when working in the cabin in South Florida. Just about all my electrical and pluming are accessed from inside the cabin and it gets HOT.
Well definitely you would love air conditioning captain I do and I place the link in the description below is Vent lid Hope it helps on your installation captain👍
I don't think it will during the day make a huge difference but at night it will make a difference because the sun is not gonna be beating on the boat but if you wanted for daytime when it's really hot you need to get something bigger add something bigger captain But like I said if you want to just for nighttime it may help a lot
You have abigger cabbin and yes bigger will be better but my generator will not handle it and yes 8000 btu would be better for you. And congrats on your purchase cap.👍⚓️
@@runescapepuresish In that case you will be fine because in my case I have coffee machine battery chargers and air conditioner at the same time Also the ice machine
My only question is what powers it? I’m a few minutes in on the video so maybe you get to it lol but if you run it on an inverter I feel like you’d need to have a damn big battery?
Interesting install of the AC. Thanks, for the vid. Btw: I see no use for over the roof here, would placing unit in a new box the same size or more, up there give you better use inside? Really two new boxes this size up there on top on both port and starboard, no one could tell anything. Any AC install is good if it works.
Just curious, why didn’t you put the exhaust port on top vs the bottom since heat rises and some heat from it will be pulled back into the intake? Great build btw!
that is a great question but wen you hear my explanation you will know why, the reason is wen saltwater hits the deck and rain water the high suction will take water inside the ventilation system and do future damage , doing it this way no water comes inside, tell what you think now cap?
Great boat A/C system. Did you prefer putting the blower fan on the exhaust duct, instead of the intake duct for a particular reason? Do you think the system might have worked OK without installing the exhaust blower fan? And how has the system held up in the corrosive saltwater environment you boat in? Is there anything you would change now that you have used it for awhile? Would you have made the ducts larger? Thanks in advance.
is been over a year since i installed and used it a lot and i looked inside and see no rust ,salt water does not enter inside the unit that the great part, and no i wold not have done anything different, im a refrigeration mechanic and i know the unit ruining temperature is just right cap,
Yes but the reason I did that even expert people told me the same thing as you telling me is that if I put the suction on the floor when it rains it will suck the rain water or the saltwater side the AC by placing an on the top is in an enclosed area so it won't suck any water plus the air comes out in a way that it hits the floor and it bounces back up and it doesn't interact with the other top ductwork
Hi there. great job on the ac in the boat. I am converting a cargo van and trying to figure what A/C system to go with. I know you have a video where you made a split unit for a sprinter. I do not have the knowledge of tools to do that. Do you think an installation similar to the one on the boat will work on the van? Being such a small ac. Do you think it can be ran on a 300ah lithium battery with an inverter? Thank you. By the way beautiful pictures of Boriken on your video.
Not sure about the power consumption but I do know if you do something similar that I did input a good ventilation system you should have no problems but as far as the amperage on the battery I'm not sure
@@merrissaramos7383 yes Captain exhaust only but it has to be a good exhaust fan like the one I use 350 CFM and I place the link in the description below if you want to check it out
@@willywonka8730 remember I have a 351 CFM blower that in any case refrigerant will leak out the blower will take it all out immediately from the box that I built so there will be no harmful gases in the cabin it's all engineered to be sealed and safe I also I am an engineer 😉
is the fresh air intake only on one side of most window units..? the way my van is I need the intake on the other side.. also do most window units already have a condensation tube like yours or did you add yours?
Does it have to be a marine air conditioner unit? I looked out the window unit and it says if movement do you have to wait 24 hours is that true? What’s that AC brand that you installed? Thank you.
Hello cap. Im a air conditioner mechanic and no there is no need other then if the unit is placed upside-down and i placed the link in the description below, hope it helps
@@OutOnTheReef I just am not as technical as you. What are the most important things it needs to be? I saw ones for 1/2 that price and wondered if they would work.
@@linneamccrary2352 the most important thing about this installation is the ventilation of the AC if you don't have proper ventilation the AC will overheat shut off the compressor so it's most important to have great ventilation
@@OutOnTheReef Okay, I just came back to post that question. I was maybe going to go with the same brand 4". I'll go with the 6" with the thermostat. I hope my bf will install it as well as you did. I may do it myself. My father was a TV repair man before owning his furniture store. I think I got some of my technical sense from him. I do okay for a "girl"!
I cannot find the down load for the blower motor and insulated duct. Trying To do this on a 30’ sailboat. Could you please repost or send me the info? Thanks so much. I enjoy all your TH-cam port.
I just placed it for you now under the discription below is the 2nd and 3rd link, hope it help with your awesome project..thanks for watching and navigate safe Cap.
ya la benden en Home Depot echa y usa el oyo de la avertira lo mas grande posible 6 o 8 inches no uses 4 inches para la avertura donde sale de la caja porque no travajara bien, entre mas aire caliente salga mejor te travajara el aire cap.
I don't understand why the compressor wouldn't work without a blower motor? the AC has it's own blower motor inside the case, is that too weak? have you tested without the extra motor?
Without the extra motor will not work it will overheat , i tried it already, you need a good cfm blower like mine, i placed the link in the discription below if you want to see the specs.
Can confirm! Came here looking for the solution to our overheating problem. We did use a smaller blower motor, you really need a more burly one. Thanks so much for this video and the links.
Is this a/c setup still functioning after the boat gets beat up from all the bounding waves on the boat and a/c unit? Is there anything you would do different? thanks
Everything is working perfect after two trips to the Bahamas a total of 32 hours in the ocean pounding sees no problems at all just got to make sure you secured it very well like I did. Navigate safe Cap
@@OutOnTheReef Outstanding ideas and pilothouse videos! Thank you for helping all of us. I still have yet to watch all your Gulf Stream crossing and Bahama videos this weekend. I just came across your channel while commuting from work in NYC.
@@raypabs5374 cool Ray and welcome aboard to my channel if you have any questions about any of the videos just let me know hope you enjoyed them. Hello from Florida
@@raypabs5374 before you buy one check out my video about the boat being crooked so that way you see the quality that I got on my boat so that way it doesn't happen to yours in the future if you plan to buy one of these type of boats because the quality is very poor on mine. Thanks for watching
Me again I love all your videos and I hope to be a skilled as you I can do some of the thing did.. My question is where did you buy all the extra white panel material I do know that it is marine grade and also how much does it cost? and does it come in a 4X4 sheet. Thanks again
So, I think these window units actually suck fresh air through the back (condenser) not blow it out through it. The exchanged air then blows out the sides and top. Can't seem to remember which way it goes, lol. These days they also design a drip pan for condensation to pool enough to where the very tips of the fan hit the puddle and sling it onto the condenser to help heat exchange. I found that annoying because it made a lot of noise so I drilled a hole in the bottom to let the condensation drain out. If you find that your design isn't working well it may be that you have your orientation backwards as far as expected airflow. Loved the video though. After doing a very intricate job of installing one on a travel van I built I was interested to see how someone else approaches the challenges.
Yes that water is a good heat exchange but I agree with you it makes a lot of noise that's why I also took the plug off mine and I know it we might lose almost 5% efficiency but it's not as much in my case my design is working perfectly for over 3 years already and I use it days at a time and no problems even with a boat is running. Thanks for watching
Hello captain. I’m in the process of putting in an ac unit on my walkaround, but an ac window won’t fit in my cabin due to space. A portable stand ac would fit perfect, the lowest I can find are 8000 btu
Hello cap. The portable one It's easier to install but it sucks the cold air from inside the cabin to cool unit And it's not the most efficient but it will work I hope everything goes well captain thanks for watching
I love to invent stuff I've done other things if you look at my other channel you'll see what kind of other inventions have done it's called Mercedes Sprinter DIY and also I don't have my face LOL. And I'm also a refrigeration Certified mechanic that's why I know a little bit about air conditioners

THINKING OF YOUR SAFETY - .YOUR window air units uses FLAMMABLE GAS as the refrigerant (see video at 5:50 - The warning label clearly states that you are installing an "explosive" device). IT IS NOT appropriate for marine use - especially INSIDE AN ENCLOSED AREA. Also all electrics used on a boat (fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, electric ovens, etc must be IGNITION PROTECTED to prevent sparks - in the event of a refrigerant (or any flammable gas) leak - AND AT SOME POINT YOUR AIRCONDITIONER WILL LEAK! YOU MUST INSTALL A FLAMMABLE GAS DETECTOR TO PROTECT YOURSELF. Fire/explosion and Carbon monoxide are the two greatest avoidable dangers on a boat.
Thank you for the great information . I am a certified Refrigeration technician and this gases are harmful to breathe but they're not flammable they put that there to protect themselves now I do have a carbon monoxide detection for any fires now if you look at all the Cruisers all the boats have a lot of refrigeration fridges air conditioning inside their quarters and if they have a leak it's going to be the same as mine I do appreciate your concern and thanks for your great reply
Remember I have a 351 CFM blower sucking all the air out of the air conditioning so there's a leak that blower is going to take all that gas and take it outside.
@@OutOnTheReef True enough, we all have many electrical devices on our boats. People often wonder why marine equivalents of land bound electrical equipment sell for 2 to 10 times the price . i'll bet you paid a pretty penny for that marine Fridge. ABYC and Coast Guard Electrical standards - which include the all important Ignition Protection Feature - are more stringent than housing electrical codes. Although municipalities would do well to adopt them. I have a 1984 Sea Ray sundancer with a 110 gallon gasoline tank on board. A firewall separates the main cabin from the engine bay. The engine bay is protected by a Fireboy-Xintex fume detector. I wouldn't be without my Fridge and Air Conditioner. I'm in AZ where it has been as high as 127! OMG!!!! Enjoy your boat. There is nothing more satisfying than "messin' 'round in boats"
I love what you did, I have an old Sea Ray that did not have air conditioning, and I had an idea like what you did. However, I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the hot air exhaust. That was so impressive…. I have a question on the back “the exhaust air” you call it air conditioner duct work, where did you get it, and what they called it…
Yes making the exhaust system is the most important part for an air conditioner specialty a window air conditioner and if you check the link in the description below I have the link for all the items I use for this installation I hope it helps you
@@OutOnTheReef guess I should have been more specific, I will be ordering the pipe in the link, thank you for show me the better pipe, and the video on sealing it, but what I was asking about was the block you cut a hole in that mounted to the box, I did not see that link, again thanks for your help and I will be using your links this weekend to order my stuff to make mine just wanting to get my ducks in a row….

Hey Captain, hope all is well. Finally looking to do this on my boat. I have very little experience with this but going to try it with the help of your video. Is there any way I could contact you and you could possibly help me with all the tools/materials I need? I will compensate you for your time, thanks captain Best, Tiderunner
Awsome captain i will help you here throu youtube, you will need StartBoard gigsaw stainless steel screws the blower I have the link in the description below that's the first one that I found it has 350 CFM is very important because you need to take as much as the hot air is possible because if you don't what's going to happen is your air conditioner high pressure switch will shut the air conditioner compressor off and I also have the link of the exhaust hoses the black ones they're the best during the process if you have any questions hit me up here and TH-cam and I will help you captain, and what type of boat do you have are you doing this installation?
Out On The Reef what is the dimensions of the starboard that you use? I remember you smoothed off the edges too after you cut the starboard, do I need that? And the rivet tool I would need as well right?
@@tiderunnerfishingnj1435 i just placed the link of the starboard make sure thats the size you will need because i got a lager size and they dont have that size no more but this is the same with
Out On The Reef what size did you get? 1 inch thick instead of 3/4 inch? How many pieces will I need for this project? Also want to go the generator route. Do you think there is any better spot to put the generator or is that the only option? I want to use it while running but sometimes it gets rough here a lot of the time off jersey. Thanks captain

brilliant work , love the channel
Much appreciated! cap. thanks for watching
Love the video very creative!!!!
Thanks Cap.
Well thought out and very nicely done. I would be tempted to add an opening top hatch and a CoolBoat AC adapter. Though pricey the hatch would be nice to have and the AC unit could be left ashore.
thanks cap. ac onboard is the best feeling wen is hot👍⚓
Gawd dam that’s a clean install.
Thanks cap. For watching 😉👍⚓
Wow... Awesome handiwork.
Thanks Gary I really appreciate you watching
He did a beautiful job, anyone wanting to do the same, hot air rises , spread the 2 holes out further and place the warm hose on the top and the AC will thank you

Thank you Brian I really appreciate your great comment
I like how you say, "perfect," after every step. Funny. I would have tested it before I buttoned it all up though.
I am a air conditioning Refrigeration Certified mechanic not to brag but I have experience with refrigeration and air
tremendo proyecto.. well done. !
thanks cap
Nice neat installation. You may regret gluing the trim pieces on the front when you need to remove the unit for repair/adjustment. And with a boat there is always repair/adjustment. You could consider velcro or screws with caps.
You're right and that's a great idea but I want to secure the AC really good for ocean navigation but it's not a big deal I just have to break the aluminum bracket and place a new one afterwards
@@OutOnTheReef Seems like you are very "secure" conscious. The sign of an experienced sailor who has seen some rough weather. I was impressed at how well you secure your addons.
Great idea and thanks cap.

Thanks friend for watching
Muy buen trabajo.
Good job.
Many many thanks
Where did you connect the water drain hose? Into the fiberglass box or the AC pan?
Great job and thanks for sharing..
@An9eL_C I attached it to the fabricglass box.That way no water will leak out
awesome mod. you cant beat those little ac units for the price.
i agree compared to a marine air $1500👍⚓
Awesome job Capt! I am attempting to do the same thing you did on my 2320. Your video is great! I should have it installed in no time if I follow your video. I am having some trouble finding the ductwork piece you installed on the back of the seat. What is that called? I’m not sure what to search for. Also, how many BTU does your air conditioner put out? I’ve watched all of your videos and the AC looks like a must. Thank you! Keep up the good work making great content.
@fixinandfishin8580 hello cap. I got the ac box at home depot and my ac is 5000 btu I Hope everything comes up great cap
Excellent....
Thanks Fritz👍👍
Good video..were did you get duct work etc..
@@richardknott2021 I think I got it at Amazon cap, And thank you for watching
Job well done. I don't think that factory installed AC would have been any better. Lucky for me, I live on the largest fresh water lake in the world. Heat is needed way more than AC. :)
Yes the factory AC would have been $3,000 and the window AC installation everything came out to $320 with blower and hoses
If you leave in the Lakes yes most definitely you will need more heat than cold
@@OutOnTheReef Surface water temp today.....36 F.
@@Z-Bart is hot
That's why hurricane season is around the corner
@@OutOnTheReef 36 Fahrenheit here. Skim ice on the lake this morning. Burrrrrrrrr.
Would it work if you just ducted the hot air out of the boat and let it bring in air from inside the cabin to cool the condenser ? Isn’t that how the portable roll around units work ?
is not a efficient way cap im a refrigeration mechanic and that is a huge cool air lost
NICE JOB!!!
Was kinda worried about your techniq at first but ya nailed it!
Only thing I would have done different would be the duct work. They make an insulted version or you could have wrapped it yourself. That stuff is gonna sweat like crazy possibly causing water damage over time.
The exhaust hoses don't sweat because it's hot air coming out and fresh are coming in already tried it for three nights continuously and there was no issue with condensation or anything like that
@@OutOnTheReef
Nice!!
How cold will it get the cabin on a hot day?
I'd imagine you could hang meat in it with that small of a space.
@@TrulyUnfortunate during the day it was really comfortable and at night you have to turn it down because it was freezing
buen trabajo capitan
Gracias, la unidad travaja exelente sin problemas con el blower que estoy usando ,gracias por tu comentario captain 👍😉🔧
Good on that AC installation.
Thanks Pro that was some hard installation
@@OutOnTheReef . You made it look easy.
Nice looking job! What was the reason for the blower?
The blower takes the heat away from the unit.If you don't do that it will overheat and shut off and thank you for watching my video captain
Eso quedó de fábrica , en cualquier momento verás la fábrica haciendo algo Parecido cuando vean tu vídeo jjjj, Bendiciones Capitán
Jajaja Roberto muchas gracias capitan 😉😁👍⚓️
Cap, this is an amazing project. Im also following moose on the loose’s mini split. Where can I get the insulated back board you used and all the other materials you used ? I saw the links to the ductwork and the ac in the description but dont know where to het the other materials. Thanks !!
Awesome captain and I got the materials at air conditioner supply store and I hope your modification Air conditioner of your boat comes out great captain👍
Awesome idea I have a 24 foot wellcraft walk around and I am going to try this, where did you put the exhaust fan? I see it listed under the video on amazon but didn't see it in the video.
Hello cap. Check this video out
th-cam.com/video/vJB4CtqqaLI/w-d-xo.html
@@OutOnTheReef Oh awesome thanks man!!
Did you drill a hole in the ac for drainage?
yes to help get the water out , i know the water helps the efficiency of the ac but to avoid problems it was better to make a hole ⚓⚓
@@OutOnTheReef
Thank you
@@biehpham8323 anytime cap.
Hey Captain, would you happen to have a link to those plastic vents with the flap? My marine AC is getting old and in need of replacement and I think I'm going to do an install like you as my boat is also a trailered boat and I'd like to be able to run the AC on the trailer so I don't die of heat stroke when working in the cabin in South Florida. Just about all my electrical and pluming are accessed from inside the cabin and it gets HOT.
Well definitely you would love air conditioning captain I do and I place the link in the description below is Vent lid Hope it helps on your installation captain👍
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks!
Do you think a 5,000 BTU AC like that would be adequate for a 26' cabin cruisers inside space?
I don't think it will during the day make a huge difference but at night it will make a difference because the sun is not gonna be beating on the boat but if you wanted for daytime when it's really hot you need to get something bigger add something bigger captain But like I said if you want to just for nighttime it may help a lot
What btu is that unit, do you wish you went bigger? I just bought a Parker 2520 with a 5k btu doesn’t seem to cool as much or as fast as I liked
You have abigger cabbin and yes bigger will be better but my generator will not handle it and yes 8000 btu would be better for you.
And congrats on your purchase cap.👍⚓️
@@OutOnTheReef I have a Westinghouse 2500i but I only need to run the ac and a battery charger if I have to
@@runescapepuresish In that case you will be fine because in my case I have coffee machine battery chargers and air conditioner at the same time Also the ice machine
The area of install is where id giessed it might be?
Wait
No id imagined it in the bulkhead.
Cool!
It was the only place that I could think of
Perfect!
My only question is what powers it? I’m a few minutes in on the video so maybe you get to it lol but if you run it on an inverter I feel like you’d need to have a damn big battery?
hello cap i use my 2500 watt generator and yes batteries will be drain fast
Interesting install of the AC. Thanks, for the vid. Btw: I see no use for over the roof here, would placing unit in a new box the same size or more, up there give you better use inside? Really two new boxes this size up there on top on both port and starboard, no one could tell anything. Any AC install is good if it works.
Just curious, why didn’t you put the exhaust port on top vs the bottom since heat rises and some heat from it will be pulled back into the intake? Great build btw!
that is a great question but wen you hear my explanation you will know why, the reason is wen saltwater hits the deck and rain water the high suction will take water inside the ventilation system and do future damage , doing it this way no water comes inside, tell what you think now cap?
@@OutOnTheReef I got ya must have missed that part. Again great build
@@nathancallaghan1 thanks buddy for your great question and for watching my channel 👍
So glad someone asked this question and the answer is what I suspected. Tight lines and good luck out there, Capitán!
Great boat A/C system. Did you prefer putting the blower fan on the exhaust duct, instead of the intake duct for a particular reason? Do you think the system might have worked OK without installing the exhaust blower fan? And how has the system held up in the corrosive saltwater environment you boat in? Is there anything you would change now that you have used it for awhile? Would you have made the ducts larger? Thanks in advance.
is been over a year since i installed and used it a lot and i looked inside and see no rust ,salt water does not enter inside the unit that the great part, and no i wold not have done anything different, im a refrigeration mechanic and i know the unit ruining temperature is just right cap,
Cool install. Word of advice - buy one or two more of the same unit. They change out models yearly and they are never the same size.
That's a great idea I will buy another one to keep it in stock thanks for the great advice
I would have swapped the ducted work because hot air rises and it will just keep sucking in that hot air that it’s putting out
Yes but the reason I did that even expert people told me the same thing as you telling me is that if I put the suction on the floor when it rains it will suck the rain water or the saltwater side the AC by placing an on the top is in an enclosed area so it won't suck any water plus the air comes out in a way that it hits the floor and it bounces back up and it doesn't interact with the other top ductwork
@@OutOnTheReef Good answer!
Out On The Reef smart
Does the seat box get hot and radiate the heat it just condensed back into the cabin? I is confused...
not at all cap, because the hot air exits the box and does not heat seat
What boat year is that in the model thank you
It's a 2018 crooked pilot house boat, captain one of a kind, only 1 made this way. And thank you for watching captain
Just saw this intro @0:03, what was the boat before your new crooked boat?
is a Crooked pilotHouse boat only one build this way cap.
Hi there. great job on the ac in the boat. I am converting a cargo van and trying to figure what A/C system to go with. I know you have a video where you made a split unit for a sprinter. I do not have the knowledge of tools to do that. Do you think an installation similar to the one on the boat will work on the van? Being such a small ac. Do you think it can be ran on a 300ah lithium battery with an inverter? Thank you. By the way beautiful pictures of Boriken on your video.
Not sure about the power consumption but I do know if you do something similar that I did input a good ventilation system you should have no problems but as far as the amperage on the battery I'm not sure
I'm assuming you also had to install an ac generator to power the ac unit?
Yes if you keep looking at my videos there's one showing the generator on a mount😉👍
Is this more efficient than a portable ac?
yes because my design only uses air from outside to cool the unit a portable is less efficient cap.
Nice. So only one fan is needed for the exhaust side? Not the intake?
@@merrissaramos7383 yes Captain exhaust only but it has to be a good exhaust fan like the one I use 350 CFM and I place the link in the description below if you want to check it out
I did similar, but I just removed one of the bulkhead windows and framed one in there.
That's another great option
A much safer installation.
@@willywonka8730 remember I have a 351 CFM blower that in any case refrigerant will leak out the blower will take it all out immediately from the box that I built so there will be no harmful gases in the cabin it's all engineered to be sealed and safe I also I am an engineer 😉
is the fresh air intake only on one side of most window units..? the way my van is I need the intake on the other side.. also do most window units already have a condensation tube like yours or did you add yours?
yes most are and yes i did add the drain tube it was easy cap.
Where did u get the a/c
i think was Lowes cap and is a GE
Does it have to be a marine air conditioner unit? I looked out the window unit and it says if movement do you have to wait 24 hours is that true? What’s that AC brand that you installed? Thank you.
Hello cap. Im a air conditioner mechanic and no there is no need other then if the unit is placed upside-down and i placed the link in the description below, hope it helps
No 6 inch fan, Amazon doesn't know if they will be getting another. Any recommendations?
Wow im sorry this was the best one but im sure if yous search you can find something similar
@@OutOnTheReef I just am not as technical as you. What are the most important things it needs to be? I saw ones for 1/2 that price and wondered if they would work.
@@linneamccrary2352 the most important thing about this installation is the ventilation of the AC if you don't have proper ventilation the AC will overheat shut off the compressor so it's most important to have great ventilation
@@OutOnTheReef Okay, I just came back to post that question. I was maybe going to go with the same brand 4". I'll go with the 6" with the thermostat. I hope my bf will install it as well as you did. I may do it myself. My father was a TV repair man before owning his furniture store. I think I got some of my technical sense from him. I do okay for a "girl"!
I cannot find the down load for the blower motor and insulated duct. Trying

Great video. If you don't mind what boat is it, and how much dose it cost.
This crooked pilot house is only one of a kind only one Built This Way
I don't understand why the compressor wouldn't work without a blower motor? the AC has it's own blower motor inside the case, is that too weak? have you tested without the extra motor?
Without the extra motor will not work it will overheat , i tried it already, you need a good cfm blower like mine, i placed the link in the discription below if you want to see the specs.
Can confirm! Came here looking for the solution to our overheating problem. We did use a smaller blower motor, you really need a more burly one. Thanks so much for this video and the links.
@@sherrig2338 anytime Cap. The one that realy works is the 350 cfm blower is quiet and it has a lot of power
How long is your boat
is 21 feet Robert
Is this a/c setup still functioning after the boat gets beat up from all the bounding waves on the boat and a/c unit? Is there anything you would do different? thanks
Everything is working perfect after two trips to the Bahamas a total of 32 hours in the ocean pounding sees no problems at all just got to make sure you secured it very well like I did.

@@OutOnTheReef Yes, what is the name brand of your Pilothouse, where can I buy one brand new? thanks!
@@raypabs5374 before you buy one check out my video about the boat being crooked so that way you see the quality that I got on my boat so that way it doesn't happen to yours in the future if you plan to buy one of these type of boats because the quality is very poor on mine.
Thanks for watching
Me again I love all your videos and I hope to be a skilled as you I can do some of the thing did.. My question is where did you buy all the extra white panel material I do know that it is marine grade and also how much does it cost? and does it come in a 4X4 sheet. Thanks again
So, I think these window units actually suck fresh air through the back (condenser) not blow it out through it. The exchanged air then blows out the sides and top. Can't seem to remember which way it goes, lol. These days they also design a drip pan for condensation to pool enough to where the very tips of the fan hit the puddle and sling it onto the condenser to help heat exchange. I found that annoying because it made a lot of noise so I drilled a hole in the bottom to let the condensation drain out. If you find that your design isn't working well it may be that you have your orientation backwards as far as expected airflow. Loved the video though. After doing a very intricate job of installing one on a travel van I built I was interested to see how someone else approaches the challenges.
Yes that water is a good heat exchange but I agree with you it makes a lot of noise that's why I also took the plug off mine and I know it we might lose almost 5% efficiency but it's not as much in my case my design is working perfectly for over 3 years already and I use it days at a time and no problems even with a boat is running.
Thanks for watching
Impressive........ how you know how to do all is this??? Are you an AC Tech by trade??
I am a certified technician for refrigeration and air conditioning.
I love Refrigeration more than air conditioning
Hello captain. I’m in the process of putting in an ac unit on my walkaround, but an ac window won’t fit in my cabin due to space. A portable stand ac would fit perfect, the lowest I can find are 8000 btu
Hello cap. The portable one It's easier to install but it sucks the cold air from inside the cabin to cool unit And it's not the most efficient but it will work I hope everything goes well captain thanks for watching
@@OutOnTheReef yes captain that’s what everyone says on the reviews. Would a generator like yours run that and a 12v color freezer fridge???

Your painting strokes looked like you were trying to kill mosquitoes.
Lol I was probably tired 😫
4 that
THINKING OF YOUR SAFETY - .YOUR window air units uses FLAMMABLE GAS as the refrigerant (see video at 5:50 - The warning label clearly states that you are installing an "explosive" device). IT IS NOT appropriate for marine use - especially INSIDE AN ENCLOSED AREA. Also all electrics used on a boat (fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, electric ovens, etc must be IGNITION PROTECTED to prevent sparks - in the event of a refrigerant (or any flammable gas) leak - AND AT SOME POINT YOUR AIRCONDITIONER WILL LEAK! YOU MUST INSTALL A FLAMMABLE GAS DETECTOR TO PROTECT YOURSELF. Fire/explosion and Carbon monoxide are the two greatest avoidable dangers on a boat.
Thank you for the great information .
I am a certified Refrigeration technician and this gases are harmful to breathe but they're not flammable they put that there to protect themselves now I do have a carbon monoxide detection for any fires now if you look at all the Cruisers all the boats have a lot of refrigeration fridges air conditioning inside their quarters and if they have a leak it's going to be the same as mine I do appreciate your concern and thanks for your great reply
Remember I have a 351 CFM blower sucking all the air out of the air conditioning so there's a leak that blower is going to take all that gas and take it outside.
@@OutOnTheReef True enough, we all have many electrical devices on our boats. People often wonder why marine equivalents of land bound electrical equipment sell for 2 to 10 times the price . i'll bet you paid a pretty penny for that marine Fridge. ABYC and Coast Guard Electrical standards - which include the all important Ignition Protection Feature - are more stringent than housing electrical codes. Although municipalities would do well to adopt them. I have a 1984 Sea Ray sundancer with a 110 gallon gasoline tank on board. A firewall separates the main cabin from the engine bay. The engine bay is protected by a Fireboy-Xintex fume detector. I wouldn't be without my Fridge and Air Conditioner. I'm in AZ where it has been as high as 127! OMG!!!! Enjoy your boat. There is nothing more satisfying than "messin' 'round in boats"
@@willywonka8730 i know cap. I enjoy working on my boat ,your have a nice boat do you live aboard
I love what you did, I have an old Sea Ray that did not have
air conditioning, and I had an idea like what you did. However, I couldn’t figure out how to get rid
of the hot air exhaust. That was so impressive…. I have a question on the back “the exhaust
air” you call it air conditioner duct work, where did you get it, and what they
called it…
