Carry on A/C?

[Desperado]

I can pick up a Carry On A/C for a cheap price locally. Has anyone ever used one of these? The wife and I only camp on the boat a couple nights a year, and A/C would make her happy. I have not been able to find out if the Honda EU2000 willl power this unit. Thanks!

Carry on a/c

I have a 5K BTU on my Marlin and it works great. They are quite expensive new, over a grand with tax. I purchased my used on e bay a few seasons ago and have used it the past 2 summers. I use only on shorepower so not certain what size generator you will need to use on the hook.

Do you have to remove it when under way if the water is calm, or can it ride on the hatch?

There's a lot on this if you search. The Sailfish guys typically put the generator on the starbord side of the swim platform. The Honda EU1000 seems to work just fine. I wouldn't leave the AC unit on the hatch will underway.
