CTM Marine CW-60HS 60000 BTU Soft Start Chiller

Boats needing serious central chiller capacity without stepping into the largest CTM models find real value in the CW-60HS, delivering 60,000 BTU with a built-in soft start board and titanium condenser coils. One verified owner running this alongside a 3-ton unit for a couple of years called it half the price of Dometic while performing flawlessly, even after a rare soft-start hiccup was replaced free of charge by CTM.

Another owner on the Mississippi Gulf Coast described installation as just six wires and four hoses, with reliable air conditioning running every day since. That kind of straightforward, drop-in replacement experience matters most for boats where downtime during a hot summer install is the last thing anyone wants — a chiller that goes in cleanly and keeps working is worth more than a spec sheet number.

Why Choose the CTM CW-60HS

Three verified owner reviews back this unit up directly, with consistent themes of reliable long-term performance and a genuinely affordable price relative to Dometic. It’s backed by CTM’s standard 2-year warranty against material and workmanship defects, and one owner’s account of prompt, no-charge warranty service on a soft-start issue speaks well to CTM’s actual support experience.

What to Know Before Installing

• Confirm your vessel’s electrical system is genuinely wired for single-phase 220V/230V power before ordering
• This chiller requires separately specified CTM AH-series air handlers distributed to each independent zone
• Ships via freight given the 161 lb weight; commercial delivery address required
• If replacing a Dometic MCGX60 or TWCX60, this unit uses the same DDC control board for a straightforward swap
