Cruisair in Guest Bath Question

[IOLANI]

Running the A/C in the guest berth for the first time this year. Register in the bedroom blows nice and cold but the one across the hall in the guest bath is on the warm side. Am I right to assume these use two separate evap coils or do they both share the same coil ? I know it’s a separate blower because I can hear it in the adjoining closet .

In what was originally a 65 I was working on, In the stateroom below the helm, has a split evap system. In that stb head is a mini (micro) evap station using 2 x C frame fans.
This is accessed in the top of the closet next forward of the head door way. Lil box made of paneling.
Open that up for a good look and feel of the evap coils.
In my issue, both fans failed and the coils froze up. This is when I could hear a whine sound, not from the fans, but freon trying to flow thru the coils.

Open up that box and ensure the evap is cool , not freezing up, and both C frame fans are blowing.

We had the same setup Ralph described in our 54'. The Crusair unit failed I believe because of a leak in the evap unit in the closet, and I removed the whole thing. When I installed a single-piece unit in the guest stateroom I weighed the pros/cons of trying to run a duct across the passageway and we ended up deciding to just hang a wall fan instead.

Thanks guys. In a closed loop system I would think if there was a leak they would both blow warm, the unit in the bedroom is nice and cold. Not imperative that the bathroom gets cold but I'll get in that closet in the next day or two and see what the setup is.

I don’t think it’s as big of a deal to keep the head cool however I notice after we’ve run the boat having that midstate air conditioning running keeps the companion way a lot cooler overcoming some of the heat that seeps through the uninsulated floor.
