Do they have a 7500 BTU unit?
I think the 9000 M9 would be best.

16.5 in a F32

Post by AndyF32 »

I put a 16.5 Mermaid Marine reverse cycle cooling / heating unit in my F32. It keeps up on the hot days in New England but I would not go any smaller.

wow, really, didnt think I needed so much, but ok,
I just installed one in my friends 27 sea ray, with a small cabin, and it was the small unit they sell, I think it was a 5100, it kicked ass, so I naturally assumed that the larger unit, I thought it was a 7500 but could be wrong, maybe it was a 9000, anyway, my cabin as you all know is fairly large, so maybe overkill would be better

You have to take into account the amount of glass area you have compared to a 27 Searay. I think Mermaid is a good choice, I have put 2 in so far and have been very happy with the way they go together.

My F 30 did ok with a 6000 but could have been better , Btu not a lot of glass to help heat it up . My F36 has twin 16000 BTU units but the salon is like a green house
