We used to buy music on CD (compact disc) which was designed to reproduce music accurately enough that 98% of listeners couldn’t distinguish live from the recording. Later, they found ways to pack more data and we would buy a movie on DVD (digital video disc) which was the same size allowing a single drive to handle both.

I think one advantage of air con is it removes so much humidity which in itself will allow you to have much better sleep, regardless of what the temp might end up being. Even if it reduces the temp to 80 degrees with lower humidity, it will be a life saver.

I replaced a 2 year old Dometic 120 volt with a new Mabru 12 volt unit and after two summer seasons on the Chesapeake I am VERY happy with the change. The Mabru is quiet and efficient since no inverter is needed. My 650 watts of lithium allows me to run the AC for 8 hours on the hook disconnected from shore power. In the summer months while at the dock I run the AC 24/7 on shore power. Thermostat set at 80. The Mabru has never failed. My Admiral is happy.

I use a weather app called Weather Bug to track how far away lightning is, and it will alert too. I have had to rebuild my computer 3 times due to lightning strikes that hit right outside my building. Now I get alerts when it is 10 miles away, and as it moves in closer and closer. I turn off all electronics at 5 miles away or 10 if I am not right at my desk. It is peace of mind to not worry until it gets to 0 miles away. I live in Georgia so it is a daily thing with me here in the South as I am sure you two know from Florida.

Buy 2 Ryobi 7.5" fans. You can triangulate yourself when working. And then you each have one for chilling in the cockpit. If possible mount a/c vent right by bed so it is blowing on you and you can use an adjustable fan to direct/boost the cold air onto you.

Just like you try to run the water maker when you have a lot of power, think about running the AC when you have a lot of power before the sun goes down. It's about knocking a couple of degrees off and taking the humidity down in the boat. Then later when you go to bed turn on the AC set for the warmest temp you can sleep at (try 78 and adjust if you need to). Also play with having shut off earlier (maybe 4 AM), and see if it stays cool enough for you to sleep until morning. If all else fails get more batteries and a bigger inverter or a second inverter to split some of the load up.

not sure how quiet the unit is, but when running a small generator ( to run a c ) at unfamiliar mooring can be a bit unnerving, because you can’t hear much going on outside all around you…so i’m a big fan of big fans…and you can leave ports and hatches open to allow air to flow and not be so isolated from your surroundings…they can do a pretty good job of reducing humidity buildup…but the big winner of the day is using baby powder after shower and before bedtime…like magic! always great content…the simple use of colored markings on halyard to mark reefing points is brilliant! cheers!

35 DC amps to run an AC unit is incredibly reasonable, so much so I am incredibly impressed.... We have a 14KBTU MarinAire unit that draws 9 amps on shore power - which up until watching THIS video I thought was excellent and VERY low.. but its almost three times what your unit is drawing.. I can NOT run ours on our modest house bank via the Xantrex inverter it just says NO... .. - I need to use a generator to operate the AC off shore power.. Perhaps with the engine running the alternator and external regulator it MIGHT work.. but at that point I may as well run the generator instead.. Well done on your guys for this installation..
