Apparently the Marine A/C industry is not required to rate their products by SEER or EER as I have never seen the figures on any Marine system...
I will say this though...Until the Jan 2010 EPA refrigerant change mandate for all A/C systems....The Marine "Split" systems (all brands) 16K & below used Reciprocating Compressors (piston type) that were developed for window units of many years ago...So I don't see them as having a SEER rating of anything above maybe an 8...I describe the reason for the use of the older technology compressors in this post on my site:
http://marine-ac.com/2010/01/27/mari...t-regulations/
Marine split systems larger than 16K have been using higher efficiency compressors for quite some time now...But it wasn't until this years introduction of Dometic's "Emerald" series systems with 410a that we now have High efficiency smaller split systems...My guess would be that they compare to around 14 SEER...Systems above that will have multi speed compressors as mentioned earlier.

Hello Bill!
Yes the a/c is still going strong with no issues! The unit still looks relatively new housed in the fly bridge and operates perfectly. Hands down the easiest solution to the marine a/c woes .Mario
