Hello everyone. This is probably going to be my last posting. I have the final conclusion to this problem and I urge all 38 owners to keep this problem in mind. Also I have taken 12 pictures for you to view. As it turns out this is a fix anyone can do. Take a deep breath, this is a lengthy...

Mike, Yes, very good idea if I can achieve positive air flow. But if I put a fan in without a way for the hot air to escape, then I'm just moving hot air around. My other concern was fan noise. If I put a grill in for some additional air flow across the compressor then put the fan in the...

Southpaw II Those are the exact settings I recommend to my customers. It won't run much at 78 yet do more dehumidifying then the dehumidify setting. And 72 when your there is a comfortable setting. The good thing about running in normal mode at 78 is that when you arrive and lower it to 72...

Thank you, yes I have noticed all that you mentioned. However the compartment has no air flow over the compressor. Even though there is a fair amount of work space it is still basically an insulated box. The air intake is sufficient and does supply plenty of air directly to the evaporator. With...

mawyatt, Glad to hear your air conditioner is running good. I'm also glad your running 24/7. This is important. Keeping the boat dry helps prevent mold and mildew which inherently causes odors and eventually wood rot. I tell all my customers to run them in regular mode but a warmer setting...

dc380, If the evaporator is far enough from the intake then there should be some air turbulence around the rest of the machine and you might be just fine. This is the case for most marine air conditioners installed. It is when the evaporator is so close to the intake grill that there is no...

Yes, all very good points. The only manufacturers requirements for space is in regards to the evaporator. If the evaporator is not facing the return air grill and it's facing a bulkhead or some other obstruction there must be a minimum of 3 inches of clearance in front of the evaporator for...

I'm pretty sure I know the fix. The reason for posting here is to see if any 38 owners have had any problems with their air conditioners. And in posting I hope any boat owner is now aware of the possible scenario below regardless of the boats make or model. Description of what is happening...

Hello everyone, All of you that said I was working on a Sea Ray 38 and not a 380 are correct ! After working on so many boats daily I don't always realize what model boat I'm on. I spoke with the customer and he said it is indeed a 2006 Sea Ray 38. With that in mind, has anyone had trouble...

Thanks to all. I will find out the exact year tomorrow after I call the customer. Glad to hear everyone's Air conditioners are working well. I will post again when I have the year of the boat. Jerry-

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure of the year. The boat looks brand new but could be older then I think. However, on the side of the boat in an italic script font that reads three eighty. If this helps, the swinging entrance door from the swim platform is in the center of the transom. It...

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a Sea Ray Three Eighty Sundancer with an 18,000 btu CruisAir air conditioner under the forward bunk with the air intake at the foot of the bunk. The boat is only about 2 years old and the compressor has failed. The circuit breaker is tripping. My...
