2006 Larson Cabrio 240 advice

[Rob flan]

Just bought a 06 Larson Cabrio 240. Ac unit has a analog control panel. First time out ac came on perfect, great water discharge out the port side. Later that night tried to start it up again, unit kicked on but no water discharge. Ive always owned boats but new to the cuddy cabin series. Any advice would be great appreciated.

Not entirely familiar but why did it have a water discharge in the first place ? You maybe just mean a condensation drain ? Excuse my ignorance.

Hey, no ignorance at all …… Thanks for your response. I'm not 100% sure, But I know that it takes water in from the open sea ****, then tru the strainer then thru a pump then to the ac. I think after this water goes over the ac coils the hot water is drained out the side of the boat....

AC units have a heat exchanger and a water pump. no flow means that either there is a blockage in the water flow, or the water pump went south.

since you just bought the boat........ you need to do all the maintenance the prior owner neglected for years prior to selling it.....

so pull the raw water pump out of the AC unit and swap the impeller..... and do all the maintenance to the motor(s) and drive(s) as well.

Scott, thanks I do see a pump really close to the output of the strainer, I hear it coming on and when I feel the hose I feel water flow....Bought it from an older gent who took care of the boat really good, I think its been sitting up for a couple years... Thanks for the advice. is it possible to just have air in the lines ??? thanks again.
