Trying to figure out which leg goes to my master cabin from the a/c pump. Does anyone happen to know which one goes to the master a/c? Is it the one closest to the bilge?

Tim,
I used a piece of hose attached to a garden hose to flush each line individually. When doing so you can feel the water flow at the unit. A problem with the forward unit flow is the fitting Sea Ray used to attach to the common drain. They used a 90 degree fitting that traps shells etc. that get through. You have to pull the fridge to change it to a straight fitting. That solved my low flow problem.
Yes that is exactly what I did and it worked with great success. Increased flow with the Oberdorfer made my units work better in South Florida hot humid air. People are amazed how much water is pumping out the side of my boat but you get in it and see how well the AC is working and you get it.It looks like the a/c pump that I have oknboard is Manufactured by Fasco Industries with a part #: 0150-0040-1000. When I look that up it appears to be a 1000gph pump.
The a/c's, if I'm running all 3 of them at the same time are approx 1050-1100gph (two 16k's and one 8k).
My question is: Can I upgrade to a bigger pump like the Oberdorfer which pushes 2250gph? I'd rather have more water than I need. However, I also would rather not risk the 5/8" lines. Thoughts or comments?

For those of us with the older cruise air air conditioners, I used a method (found it online and decided to try it) where you can control the a/c via your phone. My a/c’s are all from the 2004 vintage. I plan to upgrade them soon as I have the cash to replace all of them at the same time.
What you will need:
* Hotspot (I have a Verizon MIFI) you’ll have to get one that works for you
* SMXIR (cruise air infrared remote control)
* Cielo Eco Breez (little box that learns the IR functions from your SMXIR (infra-red remote) and you can use it to monitor, control your a/c remotely.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the Cielo Eco Breez app that I’m using from anywhere to get to the a/c controller (e.g. Cielo Breez).
I don’t get credit for the original thought —- someone else posted up about it and I decided to try it on my air condition/boat and it appears to be working great.

Hi Everyone,
Recently my remote control for the Glen Denning stopped working. I replaced the battery on the remote control but to no avail. There appears to be a box plugged into the GlenDenning called a "Hatch IT". Is there something else I can replace the HATCH IT with or does anyone know where I can get another HATCH IT? I've attached a picture of the HATCH IT...

I think we have heavy boats and when they are correctly propped that’s all they run. When I am fully loaded with 5-6 people and full fuel and water I can only go 15knts at 2200.
Anyone know where I can get the tan colored caulk that goes on the dash section? Thanks in advance!
@Blown284
I took a piece of my old caulk and walked down the aisle at home depot til i found a match, in my case it was gray.

I'm curious as to all the other claims out there. Maybe you and I have the slowest 460's out there?
My 460 is a bit older and weighs more @ 36000lbs. My engines have slightly more hp @475 each opposed to your 465 each. But I cruise at 22mph in the middle of summer with a dirty bottom, 24mph in the spring when it's all cleaned up @185RPM. My WOT is 2300. I have 3 blade 26x26x2 props. I think you have something else going on if you can only cruise at 15mph.
@fwebster could probably attest to that as well.
Umm.... My boat weighs approx 40k (hardtop, hydraulic platform) and even with totally cleaned bottom and swinging the 23x25 props, I see max of approx 20mph @ 2200rpm unless i have a following sea and then I might see 21mph.
