I think it depends on the cycling of sea water thru the system....
ON EDIT:
They say the a/c alone would require quite a lot of battery power to run for 8 hours.
To run the system continuously at full power from batteries for 8 hours would require a battery bank weighing 334 lbs. A battery bank this size will require 2.7 ft3. (0.076 m3) of space.
On 2nd EDIT:
Yep, it depends on the circulation of sea water...
Raw cooling water routing - place the raw water pump near the through-hull and pump the water to the unit. Discharge can be above or below the waterline.

Thanks everyone, for your help. My friends say "leave your dogs at home; put them in a kennel " etc., but I just can't do that. Someday something will work.
