My HVAC friend says that he never heard of a 12-volt compressor, and that fact would make it nearly impossible to get parts for a 12-volt AC unit. Also the drain on the batteries would be greater than any I expect.
So, I think my best bet is to find and install a true 115-volt system and connect it to my Shore Power wiring. I will be able to use it at my dock or connect a portable generator to the Shore Power outlet.
Thanks all!

I'm surprised the AC manufacturers don't have some sort of add on already. I thought about using an inboard flush kit along with some sort of water collection but what a total PITA. And probably not possible for anyone that has a boat on a lift.
