Notes if replacing a Dometic DTU16, DTG16 or ECD16 - 115V
The CTM CT-16 16,000 BTU marine air conditioner works well as a replacement for the Dometic DTG16 - 115V (205160174), DTU16 - 115V (205160160), or ECD16 - 115V (207500316). There are some specs that should be taken into consideration when replacing one of the units previously mentioned.
- Because the CT-16 unit comes with the Universal Control board, it will work with the controller you currently have. Supported controllers included: SMXir, Passport I/O, Smart Touch, Elite II.
- Waterline connections should be the same as the unit you are replacing, the CT-unit has a standard 5/8" water connection.
- The CT-16 Unit has a 6-inch ducting ring whereas the Dometic comes with a 7 inch. It is a quick replacement as the ducting can be easily cinched down with a clamp.
- Dimensions wise this unit is very similar to the one you are replacing, so It shouldn't be a major issue. However, it is suggested you double-check in order to avoid any issues when installing.

My 43 year old split system Cruise Air was still working but it was struggling to keep the boat cooled to 72. Even worse was how noisy it was. Sleeping was becoming impossible and the db rating in the berth area was almost at 90. The self contained new unit with new technology was well worth the effort and cost.

Ordered this unit to replace a 20 year old Cruisair 16. Install was perfect and had no adjustments to any hoses or wiring except for extending a ground wire. My old thermostat did not work and I needed to order a new one c/w the cable. Don't order without the cable as it is differently configured than the standard ethernet I was use to. The thermostat does not come with the bezel. Crazy, but needs to be ordered separately.
I would recommend the unit and complement the technical staff for their quick and efficient responses. Shipment was easy, Miami to Detroit quick but a little costly as expected.

On the failure of our Marin Air (Dometic) 12,000 BTU A/C, we researched Citimarine's' excellent comparison video and chose the CTM-16 at 16,000BTU, which promised to fit the same limited space. Superior construction, separate well-designed terminal box, easy to understand instructions and Citimarine-sponsored video instructions, the installation would have taken me, a novice, 3 hours to install, very easy, but needing various customizing parts (wire extension, drain lines, screws etc) took me 8 hours. Still, very satisfied to have saved $1,000 over local pro's installation with local tax. Drawbacks: 2 drains on the same side - better to offer one on each side. Don't believe UPS 2-day delivery. Receptionist, Anna is the best! Best pluses: quieter and 25% more power. Icy interior with 90 degrees outside.

I have a 2009 Sea Ray 350 Sundancer, and I bought this to replace my dead Dometic unit. I ordered it in October 2022, and it arrived days later. I installed it about a week later. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. The installation was tough at first, as Sea Ray makes you take down a wall and some more stuff just to get to the air conditioner in my particular boat. However, once I got to the old unit, the installation was easy. The controls looked the same so swapping one wire to the new unit was a breeze. I didn't need to replace anything else. I've had this unit running for almost 6 months now (4 of them it was winterized), and it works perfectly. Actually, it works better than I expected. It's quieter than I thought it would be, and chills my space in no time. The only thing I noticed was the previous Dometic had 5 speeds, and this one has only 3. NOT A BIG DEAL! Also, did I mention the price? I shopped for weeks looking for a well-built, comparable HVAC unit. This is the only one that met and beat my dead unit. The size is similar, it's a little lighter in weight, the price is much lower, the installation is a breeze (once you get it side by side, and the quality is top notch. Thank you CTM for making a quality unit, and standing behind your product.
Great Replacement for a 2013 VTD-16K.

I am happy with this unit as a replacement for a Marine Air Systems by Dometic VTD-16K 410A. The raw water connection are on the other side from the VTD16K. I spliced on some additional hose to make it work. I'll rerun the hoses as one continuous hose when I get a chance. The wiring was pretty straightforward. The electrical terminals are in different order than the VTD16K--just pay attention. I had a custom distribution box on my VTD16K that was easily transferable to the CTM CT-16. The CT-16 6-inch round hose adapter easily came off revealing an alternate bolt pattern exactly the same as the VTD16K. It runs quieter than expected even without the sounds shield I had on my VTD16.

Just ordered and installed the 16k and 10k to replace my 2006 Dometics. I read the info on the Citimarine website and spoke several times with JP. The articles and comparisons article made the choice easy The CTM ynits are indeed plug n play and I upgraded to the Elite II displays. The units are quiet and smaller footprint than before. Citimarine answered my questions quickly and even referred me to a local service company that installs these units. Install is doable for anyone who is mechanically inclined. Not hard at all. Happy customer.

The unit is working excellent so far. What we like the most is that this one cools the cabin to the real time set, for example if it is set to 65 degrees the cabin’s temperature goes to that exact temperature. The old unit we replaced ( Dometic ) never cooled the cabin to 65 degrees even though it was set to that temperature, if we put it to 65 degrees, the cabin was always 68 degrees, Another thing is that the CTM is more quiet, silent.

The boat we have is a 2004. It had Cruisairs that did not hold refrigerant any longer. One had been repaired, but leaked again. The quote given to me was nearly 9k to replace. I did some investigating, found the CTM units and how to install. I just put them in 2 days after Xmas myself. The boat is in Ft Myers Beach, I live in Wisconsin. I ordered them 3 weeks ahead, figuring it would take time. Ordered on a Friday, delivered to the marine the next day. They run great, quiet, heat and cool like we never had. Thank you very much, saved me about $4800
