Having issues with my bow (forward) air conditioner
I believe my water hose might be blocked after the splitter
This is the background,
Stern air conditioner works fine, when I turn on the Bow air conditioner (together and alone ) the bow AC runs for 5 mins then shuts down, also I noticed the water discharge is only coming from the stern outlet, no water discharge from the bow outlet, crazy thing is I get water discharge from the stern outlet when the only air conditioner I turn on is the bow ???
I have several questions
Does my hypothesis of a blocked pipe make sense (I should mention I live in Florida with allot of marine growth), to help this i put pool tablets in the AC strainer to prevent growth as much as possible
When I look at the 31CB owners manual it showing the bow air conditioner under the bed in the bow cabin, is this correct as I have been told both air conditioning units are together under main cabin seat ???
where is the splitter for the 2 units so I can located and begin my unblocking process ???
thanks
 
You can test for blockage by holding a garden hose into the sea strainer. Water should flow all the way out even without pump being on. I have a 27 with only one a/c. do you have one or two pumps? it is my understanding if you have two unit there is an additional fuse for the pump.
 
I have a 2014 R31cb and it only has one pump for AC raw water. When the pump is running you should see water flow from both discharges no matter which unit is running if not you ave a blockage. I’ve had to run barnical buster through raw water system a few times. It will not only kill marine growth but mud and weed.
