CTM Marine CW-60HS 60000 BTU Soft Start Chiller

Description

Boats needing serious central chiller capacity without stepping into the largest CTM models find real value in the CW-60HS, delivering 60,000 BTU with a built-in soft start board and titanium condenser coils. One verified owner running this alongside a 3-ton unit for a couple of years called it half the price of Dometic while performing flawlessly, even after a rare soft-start hiccup was replaced free of charge by CTM.

Another owner on the Mississippi Gulf Coast described installation as just six wires and four hoses, with reliable air conditioning running every day since. That kind of straightforward, drop-in replacement experience matters most for boats where downtime during a hot summer install is the last thing anyone wants — a chiller that goes in cleanly and keeps working is worth more than a spec sheet number.

Key Features of the CTM CW-60HS Chiller

This dometic mcgx60 replacement chiller brings the same soft start technology and titanium coil construction found across CTM’s larger chillers down to a 60,000 BTU capacity, priced well below comparable Dometic and Webasto options according to verified owner feedback.

• Built-in soft start board reduces startup current by 65-75% compared to the compressor’s locked-rotor amperage
• Direct drop-in replacement for Dometic MCGX60 and TWCX60 chiller units, using the same DDC control board and controls
• Titanium condenser coil resists corrosion significantly better than copper in seawater applications
• Advanced MCC control board is a fully compatible replacement for the OEM DDC control board
• Corrosion-resistant metallic electrical box with effective grounding and EMI shielding
