A/C condensation on 1998 Mariner

[agriman]

Our A/C unit works very well but I am curious as to where the coil condensation is draining. It collects under the coils and enters a 1/2 inch poly tube and routes along side the cooling water tube that pumps out the port side of the boat.It doesnt appear to go into the bilge area.

Most boats, Carvers included, have the condensate drain into the shower sump box. I used to have a Carver 3807 with 3 AC units. All 3 drained into the sump.

Most of the time it is routed to a sump box, either dedicated to AC or the shower dump

An alternative is a special fitting on the water line which allows condensate to go overboard with cooling water. Follow the hose to see what you have

I can't follow the hose but I think you might be right that it discharges with a special fitting along with the cooling water. Thanks for your replies.

Check your sump box and see how many discharge hoses drain into it.
