How To Revive Your Old Water System & Air Conditioner With Manifold Water System on you sailboat

In the process of re-doing the entire bottom of reverie below the waterline, we made some improvements to the raw water intake system. We closed one thru hull and repurposed another and built a new Manifold Raw Water system to provide water to three key systems: Air Conditioner, Anchor Water Pump, and the Marine Head. Of course nothing is as simple as you hope. We had to get creative to prime the system, install check valves we didi not think off, rebuilt the head manual pump so we can prime the system and bring back a Mermaid Air 12K BTU air conditioner unit that has not been run in over 7 years. In the end….. we succeeded!!!! I think you will find some of this information useful on your own projects.
