    Sundancer wet carpet on aft cabin floor

    I had the same issue with wet carpet on my 260. My window leaked after it rained. Changed out the gasket. It was hard and not sealing against the glass at the bottom. Tighten up the black levers and solved my problem.

    A/C Not working

    Update! The A/C IS WORKING. I put a set of refrigerant gauges on the unit and found it had only 50psi not running and 0 running. "There's your problem". I called around to the local marinas to find a mechanic who does A/C. Turns out, in the Southport NC area, there is none. One marina did have...

    A/C Not working

    Update! Today was warm enough to work on the boat. 25 degrees at night here in NC along the coast is too much. Put a set of A/C manifold gauges to the compressor and got 50psi on the low side and 75psi on the high side. Turned on the A/C and both gauges dropped to 0. I think I found the...

    A/C Not working

    Jaybeaux, thanks. I wonder, if the coolant is low enough in the loop, would I get a low pressure warning on my thermostat? I have never got a LO-PS or HI-PS warning on the thermostat while I ran it the last time. My manual states any PSI below 30 and the system will shutdown and resets at 45...

Turned on the heat. I could feel the compressor running and heard a different sound. Reconnected the hose and ran...

    A/C Not working

    SKbolt, I have verified there is power. Thanks. Lazy Daze, I was thinking either open the top of the sea strainer and verified any air that might escape or open the sea cock valve and watch for steady flow. My boat is on a trailer. Thanks for the suggestion to run the water at a slower rate. I...

    A/C Not working

    Thank you all for your responses. Gallf1, I will check the start relay. Electricaldoctor, I will check the starting capacitor since I will be right there. Brewster16 and Lazy Daze, I will try filling the water line. I don't have a submersible pump so I will have someone back fill from the...

    A/C Not working

    I have a 2004 260DA Sundancer with Crusiair for air conditioning. I am not getting cooling or heating. When I bought the boat 2 years ago, the A/C at the sea trail worked. The thermostat works fine and the blower works fine. The Sea strainer is clear. The seacock is open and clear. I am not...
