AC condensation...

[Michael Shaner]

Our AC is installed under the V berth. It is the Admiral's favorite. The PO installed it there with no way to drain the condensation, so twice a day I go up there with a manual pump, bucket and a sponge to sop up the water before it pours out of the louvered vent and saturates my nice genuine imitation teak and holly plywood sole. There is no path to the bilge. I could drill holes but don't really want to...I prefer the bilge dry. I could install a pump but i'm too cheap. Speaking of too cheap, anybody have any experience with one of these? http://www.mmair.com/marine_division/accessories/mermaid_condensator Looks like a brass tee with some barbed fittings, a check valve and some tubing for 200 bucks...YIKES!

What do you guys do?

I've had the condensator for 7 years and it's worked like a charm.  Back then, it was only $75.
