After we got to our new slip this past weekend (FL Gulf Coast) I noticed a bit of sea grass coming in towards the bulkhead of the dock area due to a strong west/north-westerly breeze.
We ran the boat Saturday and the A/C worked just fine. The boat sat overnight with the A/C set on 72 and when I came back to the boat on Sunday, it sounded like the pump was running dry. I immediately turned the A/C system off. We had guests already on board so I did not want to open the hatch and start working on clearing the strainer, so I just made the call to work on it on Monday. We really did not need the A/C anyway.
I started the generator for the refrig, blender and other AC powered accessories, but.... my wife without my knowledge decided to turn on the air conditioner! So I think the pump either died from running dry too long, or I am hoping there may be a breaker or reset that tripped.
After our guests left, I tried the A/C and nothing would come on when I switched the breakers on downstairs on the top panel. I am starting to think the pump got toasted, but hoping maybe there was an overload breaker of sorts.
Any suggestions??
TY, all help is much appreciated!
