received quote from local Marine AC company to replace stock unit with a Capri 50 condenser w/ 250b vertical evaporator/ digital thermostat + parts and labor+ $2,900.00
I've priced the adler barbour cu-100 condenser and vd-150 vert evap for total of about $1,300.00
I'm reasonably handy. It would seem since it's just replacing the old to be a straightforward thing? No rewiring of electrical required, just unbolt old condenser, bed new and re-attach wires for power. Same goes for the evap. Especially true with quick connectors that are pre-charged. The majority of work would seem to be just running the tubing. Has anyone done this? Am I going to be in WAY over my head? I am going to go measure the distance because the condenser is located on starboard side under cockpit lazaret. I would hope its less than 15 feet but my calibrated eyeball says it might be close.
