CTM EV-6 – 6,000 BTU Evaporator – Marine Split A/C Unit – 115V – 50/60HZ

A cabin that overheats during the day and never quite cools off at night usually comes down to undersized or aging equipment, and the CTM EV-6 evaporator solves that for the smallest zones on a boat. Paired with a matching 6,000 BTU condenser, it delivers cooling and heating to a berth, head, or small cabin that a larger air handler would simply overwhelm — both in physical footprint and in how much it overcools a tight space.

What makes this evaporator worth choosing specifically is how little it demands from the rest of the boat’s systems. At just 15 lbs and drawing under an amp of current, it adds almost no electrical or structural burden to an installation, which matters most on boats where every pound and every amp of reserve capacity has already been claimed by other equipment.

Why Choose the CTM EV-6 (115V)

This evaporator is backed by CTM’s standard 2-year warranty against material and workmanship defects, giving real coverage on a unit that’s easy to overlook given how small and inexpensive it is compared to the rest of a split system. If you’re replacing a failed Dometic TVE, dimensions and connections match closely enough that installation generally shouldn’t require significant rework.

What to Know Before Installing

• Requires a matching condenser purchased separately — this listing is the evaporator only
• 4″ blower duct connects to your cabin’s ductwork
• If replacing a Cruisair TV6 unit, this evaporator will need pairing with an R410A-compatible condenser since TV6 systems use R22/R417A
• The reusable air filter should be cleaned periodically as part of routine maintenance
