CTM CX-16H – 16,000 BTU Condenser – Marine Split A/C Unit – 230V – 50/60HZ – R410A

Boats standardized on 230V shore power looking to step up from a 12,000 BTU system will find the CTM CX-16H condenser fills that gap cleanly — 16,000 BTU of cooling and heating capacity built as a direct drop-in replacement for the Dometic DEU16 and DEG16 condensing units. One verified owner reported the unit running “fantastic” with ice-cold air conditioning and perfect heat performance after installation.

The real value of stepping up to this capacity range shows up during peak heat load — a 16,000 BTU condenser keeps recovery times shorter after doors and hatches open, and gives enough headroom that the compressor isn’t running flat-out constantly just to hold setpoint. That translates into less compressor wear over the years and a quieter cabin overall, since a unit working within its capacity cycles less aggressively than one that’s undersized for the space.

Why Choose the CTM CX-16H

Real owner feedback backs this unit’s performance directly, and it’s covered by CTM’s standard 2-year warranty against material and workmanship defects. If you’re replacing a Dometic DEU16 or DEG16, dimensions and waterline connections match closely enough that installation typically doesn’t require significant modification.

What to Know Before Installing

• EPA certification must be provided before shipping
• Requires a separately purchased evaporator — this listing is the condenser only
• If replacing a Cruisair RX unit, the evaporator will also need replacing since RX systems use R22/R417A refrigerant, not R410A
• Waterline connections use a standard 5/8″ fitting
