Description
Mermaid Marine Air M16 (110V Cool Only FMS Variant) Self-Contained Marine Air Handler
Featuring a dedicated 16,500 BTU/h cooling capacity, the Mermaid Marine Air M16 (110V Cool Only FMS Variant) engineering configuration optimizes tropical climates inside warm cabin spaces up to 800 cu.ft. Utilizing compact 13.0×20.0x13.5-inch physical dimensions, this heavy-duty self-contained system drives a steady 490 CFM evaporator airflow through a standard 6-inch duct connection. This cool-only commercial-grade design guarantees absolute thermal regulation without unnecessary internal heating loops, functioning as an exceptional alternative to an automated low amp marine air handler layout.
Technology built into the electrical control board ensures seamless management over a single-phase 110V power supply grid operating at 60Hz. The internal architecture monitors a continuous 11.8A full load cooling amperage and accounts for a 54A locked rotor startup spike, demanding a 25A circuit breaker during standard load conditions. Safe operations under marine environments are secured by a 5/8-inch seawater plumbing pipe connection requiring an optimal water pump delivery rate of 6.66 GPM through a robust cupronickel condenser loop and a stainless steel frame.
Core Engineering and Performance Elements of Mermaid Marine Air M16 (110V Cool Only FMS Variant):
- High efficiency 16,500 BTU dedicated cool only capacity architecture
- Compact 13.0-inch physical height profile fits restricted storage lockers
- Premium grade cupronickel condenser loop prevents seawater corrosion
- Marine grade stainless steel base pan eliminates bilge rust damage
- Efficient 11.8A full load cooling current draw profile
- Hermetic rotary compressor engineering dampens localized vibration sound effectively
- Standard 5/8-inch seawater inlet and outlet plumbing connections size
- High output internal blower drives 490 CFM ventilation air
- Lightweight 63 lbs chassis simplifies self contained installation layout
- Pre charged eco friendly R-410A system refrigerant tracking loop
Advanced Thermal Exchange Performance
Cupronickel condenser loops provide maximum thermal transfer across small-craft saltwater loops by countering scaling build-up. The specialized mechanical engineering balances automated refrigerant pressures across an optimized cooling surface, sustaining peak operating performance. This durable combination eliminates unexpected climate drop-offs under punishing high-salinity oceanic operational cycles, acting as a premium corrosion resistant boat AC platform.
Two Year Factory Warranty Protection
A comprehensive 5-year factory warranty protects your entire marine air conditioner investment against unexpected mechanical component failures. Factory certified technicians authorize immediate structural coverage for verified electrical and mechanical parts defects from the initial retail transaction date. Onboard operators receive absolute long term security, minimizing operational downtime while maintaining constant vessel comfort.
Vessel Layout and Application Fit
Vessels measuring 30-38ft achieve ideal climate stability using this compact self-contained climate control configuration. The physical layout is custom-tailored for installation under V-berths, settees, or narrow compartments inside tropical cruiser hulls requiring a 3.5 kW minimum generator. Precise sizing avoids short-cycling, delivering efficient continuous dehumidification without overwhelming the restricted electrical grid capacities.

Mermaid M16 Cool Only 110V FAQ
What are the electrical requirements for M16?
Mermaid M16 operates on a standard 110V power source. This domestic single-phase configuration draws approximately 11.5 amps during active cooling cycles, permitting recreational boaters to plug straight into standard American shore power utility boxes or small portable backup generators without deploying expensive voltage-matching marine transformer modifications.
What airflow volume does this system deliver?
Mermaid M16 generates an airflow volume of 400 CFM. The integrated rotatable high-velocity centrifugal blower fan sweeps air evenly across wide mid-ship cabins, expediting dehumidification while the heavy-duty composite insulation assembly suppresses mechanical resonance vibrations from shaking lightweight structural fiberglass hull frames.
Which vessels fit the Mermaid M16?
Mermaid M16 is designed for wide mid-ship master staterooms on domestic express cruisers. It provides optimal localized cooling coverage for recreational hulls from thirty-five to forty-two feet, delivering reliable environmental management underneath main deck dinettes while keeping vital companionway walking clearances free of mechanical obstructions.
