I know that someone has replaced their AC units, our salon 16K cruise air split unit has given up the ghost after 30 years, Does anyone have any recommendations??

Stay with cruseair as you see it lasts and being a split system you know the cruseair replacement will work .

Have you checked to make sure its bad and not a simple repair ?

Yes we have checked it out, the compressor is bad, and we would like to go to a self contained unit and up grade to a ditigal thermostat

It that case you have many options . Cruseair of course marineair and Mermaid . all are good units Price is one thing to look at ,But who can service near you should be a factor .

If the one of the units when on mine I would stay whit the remote system on the forward unit ( 3 evaporators/outlets ) v berth / dinning area galley side of salon . the duct work would be almost imposable . on the other hand the rear unit with one would be easy to with a self contained unit.

I've heard the digital temp controls are touchy when running on a gen-set and don't like power spikes, I'd stay with the old school stuff ..IMPO

Flagship Marine has great units and are extremily easy to install if your a DIY
