When I turn on the AC on shower power the cooling raw water that flows through the sea cock strainer starts to flow immediately from the AC drain on the port side. However, it stops flowing after about twenty minutes, well before the temperature has reached the desired level. The air from the cabin duct still remains cool even though the water is not flowing. Is this normal?

Good morning. Does the AC compressor continue to run when the water pump stops running? It could be the compressor has stopped, which will stop the pump, and only the fan is blowing. The compressor will not run without water flowing through it. You’ll get a high pressure alarm reading and the unit will shut down. You might check the location of the thermostat to make sure it’s not getting a false reading and shutting the compressor off. On most units there are settings that will allow the fan to continue to run even when the AC compressor is off.

I believe on the Webasto units the pump does turn on and off. I'd also check to see if you ever notice the pump kicking back in after a while. I'll admit we don't do hardly any AC units in the PNW 😀
