[C320-list] AC Question

[kskis at aol.com]

Might I suggest Patricia take a temperature reading with a temperature gun in a few places on the a/c unit while it is operating.  I won't be at my boat for at least a week but might I suggest someone else take some readings and then you compare notes.  Neil Kornblatt #973 Harmony

 I guess it depends what was hot. If you are talking about the coils that the seawater is pushed through by the raw water pump then I would expect these to be pretty warm if the AC is blowing max cold and the seawater is relatively warm.

I closed it up and turned on the system to make sure it was pumping water. I went up on deck to confirm that the water was flowing out. Thankfully it was. However, I noticed that the water was gunky and I am guessing that was because I had cleaned the strainer. The actual unit sits under my v-berth and I checked to make sure that all was working. I noticed that the unit felt hot. Is that normal? I turned the unit off and let it cool down for safety reasons as I was not sure that was right - I don't recall it being hot before. Thoughts?
