Air Conditioning

I have a 1985, 10 meter international. It has the aqua temp air front and salon. I recently had the salon unit recharged but couldn’t get complete access to the front birth. I removed the vent cover but am unable to gat the full patriot off. It will not go past the wood border on the small table space. Do I have to remove the metal strip to get at the wood screws to remove the border. Seems like a lot of work,and there must be an easier way to recharge the front unit

Odd that both units are low. What refrigerant are you using? Any photos of the area? I am not sure what you mean by patriot? I can do some research or You can call Bob at Beacon. But Need to know what boat you have. You said you have a 10 meter but they made 6 different 10 meters and they are all different. Express, mid-cabin(that some owners think is an express) Aft-express. Sedan, Aft cabin sedan and one with open lower helm.

Tks for the reply. I have the 10 meter international, fly bridge. Meant partition in outline, had another problem with the salon air and needed it repaired. As a result had to recharge and wanted the birth unit looked at as well. A picture may be appropriate.

On the 12m sedan access is through a panel in the back of the starboard locker. Picture is of the space during the replacement of ours (picture is turned on it's side for some reason):

1985 Trojan International 10m, blower unit in ceiling not blowing cold or warm air, just blowing air. Control unit on wall seems to be functioning properly! Can't read the model number on this plate.

Is the compressor coming on? Pumping water? Has the charge been checked?
