Record heat here in the East. Yesterday got to the boat to find the AC down with a E1 code. Strainer was a bit dirty, but I've seen worse. cleaned it, opened breaker, waited, restarted and had good water flow and cooling. Ran continuously for 3 hrs - was above 100 in cabin. Then shut down on another E1 code. Backflushed, didn't look bad. Restarted. good flow. Then, after a few hrs another E1. Still no obvious clogs. This time, after clearing fault and attempting restart, it just went to E1 code. Pump never started. Multiple times.

As it was getting late, and still hot enough that we weren't going to get any sleep, we abandoned ship and went home.

Anyone ever see this behavior ? Failing pump ? Thermal overload on pump kicking in ? then resetting ? Ac worked fine for hours 3 days ago.
