With a cooling capacity of 1000 cubic feet, the Mermaid M12 marine A/C unit is designed to cool / heat up to a 32′ cruiser or a 34′ sailboat. Mermaid units pack the perfect punch of cool, comfortable air to keep your cabin temperate.

Mermaid uses 4″ ducting and recommends a minimum of 2, 4″ round supply grills with this installation. This unit will run off the new Honda eu1000i 1,000 watt portable generator, while in cool mode. Another option is to use a Statpower 1,000 Watt Inverter and 450 amp hours of battery power and you can anchor out (on average) for one night. This unit is available in right, left or top air discharge configurations.

With Electric Heating Function
When the electric heating feature is activated on your Mermaid A/C unit, a radiant heat strip placed in the evaporator shroud heats up and the fan blows 5,680 BTUs of hot air into the cabin. Neither the compressor nor the water pump is required for this. This means the electric heating feature can be run even while the boat is out of the water.

Take note though, electric heat mode draws more power than reverse cycle heating (10 extra amps).
