AC needed for Z302 (any Ideas?)
 
Boat is running better than ever and loving it. Problem I have now is my wife and I tried to sleep on the boat this past weekend and the fan was not enough. We really are needing some AC, even a portable unit. Not sure a hatch unit would work since the hatch windows are small and dont open all the way back. Has anyone figured out anything small enough and portable to use? I have a slip and shorepower for electricity.

I know some Z302's were equipped with A/C systems in the cabin, so it is possible. I'm just not sure where the whole compressor and everything would fit in the Z302, it's pretty large. I do know the unit in my Z280 is made by Ocean Marine Air, who is no longer in business, I believe Mariah used them for a lot of their OEM systems.

I'm on my phone so searching old threads is tough but look under the project threads I'm pretty sure someone fab something out of a walmart window unit and mounted down on the cubby under the TV. Looked clean

That's a very cool idea. No pun intended.

I have no idea if this will work for your 302 but it's supposed to be an original equipment Mariah AC unit...on eBay.

16000 BTU is friggin' huge for that boat! Especially since the entire mid-cab area is roughly the size of a queen mattress. My Z280 has a 9000 BTU unit, and that's for the whole boat! I would assume any 5000/6000 BTU unit would be perfect. Plus they're usually the smallest in size too.

I'm not entirely sure that unit on ebay is an OEM Genuine Mariah unit. The company specializes in retro-fits, and there's no model/part number or images that show it's for a Mariah. I'm guessing they're just using some clever marketing in their ad, since a few of their other ads list brand names in the title.
