Real sailors don't use A/C units, only dock side hoboes.

I'm not a sailor so I guess I'm excluded. I love my AC.

Well with a 43 Cabo I'd say you are in the wrong forum.

I use AC when dockside......so as to not carry the appearance of a hobo.

No ac... Not in Houston. You'd melt.

I think you are pretty new to be casting that type of judgement.

I've been running boats in SW Florida for 42 years. Most of the boats I Captain have strainer baskets which need cleaning periodically. In the really warm months 80 deg or above I clean the strainers once a week, cooler months, every two weeks. I also use bromine tablets, 10-12 in the basket. This has worked out extremely well. The strainer baskets should be replaced every 4-5 years as they do deteriorate over time. The boats I am speaking about are in the salt water and A/C runs 24/7. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks Cpt Larry, going to try it out, your the 3rd or 4th that spends extensive time in warm ocean waters that’s said that…

Is it OK to use swimming pool HTH or Bromine in the AC trainer ?
