[C320-list] Marvair Condensation Removal Kit

[B. Stumpp]

As the other C320 owner referred to by Warren below, I am also happy with
the MarvAir CR330.  

Easy to install and trouble free.  

And when winterizing I Just dump ½ to a cup of antifreeze into the A/C
condensation tray, it’s sucked up, sent overboard and the Marvair and filter
are winterized.   

BTW, a suggestion by the A/C vendor – and unrelated to the MarVair - install
the discharge as close to the water as possible to lessen the noise when the
A/C discharge hits the water.

Mark, we and another 320 owner in our marina installed AC at the same time
although we put it in the port locker up against the salon bulkhead. We both
installed the MarvAir CR330 and can highly recommend this device. And this
was 6 more years ago. I feel confident that the CR330 would easily lift your
condensate enough to deposit in the outgoing cooling water discharge. We
have never had a problem with it, and the small strainer in the line has
never collected any detritus. I would attach to the cooling water discharge
as far from the thru-hull as possible to avoid any possibility of air
reaching the CR330 while the AC is running. That might break the vacuum
needed for the CR330 to operate.

 

Let us know how this goes,
