Need to replace a 24 year old Marine Air 12k reverse cycle unit. Still works but doesnt cool great and hard to regulate temp. Heard great things about Cruisair vector but about $2,300 plus control.
Is there a big difference from the cruisair to the
Marine air about $1500. They are both made by same company. Any other brand recommendations?

Have you had your current system serviced? You might just need some coolant.

The Vector will beat your old unit hands down. I was going to replace both my 4 year old MarineAirr units with them but I can no longer afford to throw money away.

These are all expensive options for both units.

I've used, king-air.net, for years they have great units. I replaces mine after 25 years because of the fan. I've installed many of them in other boats with no problems.

Webasto and King Air are both great units as well. I almost bought Webasto units because they had electric heating strips in them to work when the reverse air stops working on most of the other name brand units.
