So...previous owner had 3 120v A/C units on board. One was an older split unit that still works, and two newer self contained ducted style. When the boat was repossessed he took off the newer units with many other things he didn't let go with the boat.
So I have a single 12,000 BTU 120v unit in the salon & galley...no A/C for the rest of the boat. Yet. Of course budget is always a concern, and I scan whats for sale here and there.
I came across a very good deal on a new 20,000 BTU unit with a good pump. The catch is that it and the pump are 240v. I have plenty of 240v capability in my power panel, so that's not an issue. My question is about the pump.
Is there a relay available to be able to use the 120v pump with the 240v unit...or vice versa...the 240v pump with the 120v unit? Both pumps are approximately 1100 gph so unless I'm mistaken either one should have the capacity to provide water for both A/C units correct? If possible I would prefer to use one pump instead of both...
