Flagship FM16R – 16,000 BTU Marine Air Conditioner 230V Cool Only
The Flagship FM16R provides 16,000 BTU cool-only operation from 230V power for dedicated marine interior cooling systems onboard.
- 16,000 BTU output handles medium interiors.
- 230V supply guides electrical compatibility.
- Cool-only operation excludes heating functions.
- FM16R identifies the listed configuration.
- Dedicated cooling serves marine cabins.
For boats that only need cooling on 230V power, the Flagship FM16R strips out the heating function entirely — 16,000 BTU of cooling from the same no-PC-board, LG rotary compressor platform found across Flagship’s self-contained lineup, without the added components a reverse cycle or electric heat system requires.
Why Choose the Flagship FM16R
Skipping the heating function keeps the system simpler — a reasonable choice for boats in consistently warm climates with no real heating need. At just 5.7A running amperage on 230V, this is a lighter electrical draw than the 115V equivalent, worth factoring in if your boat’s 230V circuit capacity is more readily available.
If your cruising plans ever extend into cooler weather, Flagship’s FM16H Cool & Heat version covers that instead, at the same physical footprint and installation requirements — worth considering upfront, since retrofitting heat later means replacing the entire unit.
What to Know Before Installing
- Units are made-to-order with roughly a 2-week lead time before shipping
- Since this unit has no heat function, confirm it matches your climate needs before ordering
- Choose top or side discharge based on your installation layout before ordering
- A dedicated FM16 install kit is available separately for a complete setup
