Monthly Tropical Marine Air Conditioning Maintenance
North of Gladstone the system runs most of the year and the water is full of things. A short monthly routine, not the annual one.
Monthly Tropical Marine Air Conditioning Maintenance: Schedule and Equipment
Tropical duty is harder on everything. The unit runs longer, the water is warmer so capacity is already reduced, and marine growth is quicker. The annual service cadence that works in Sydney is not enough in Darwin or Cairns.
Monthly Tropical Marine Air Conditioning Maintenance: Procedure
If you skip it: Progressive capacity loss through the season, in the place where you can least afford it.
Record the date, what you found and any parts used in the boat's maintenance log. A repeat change—less water flow, faster fouling, a new smell or a breaker that trips again—is often more useful to a technician than a one-off reading. Check the current manual and official sources before changing the procedure, and stop at the licensed-work boundary described in the disclaimer.
