Ours is under the stairs as well, with vents forward to the galley area and aft to the stern berth. It works well, but feels a little undersized. We use the stern berth all the time, and only occasionally have guests in the V.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Josh Muckley via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Date: 9/19/19 9:45 AM (GMT-06:00) To: C&C List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Josh Muckley <muckl...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Air Conditioning Installation Questions -- Raw Water Supply 2 installation locations that you may want to consider are under the V-berth and under the stairs. Ours is under the stairs. Blue Pearl had one under the V-berth.Since I have a Vacu-flush head from the PO it left a thru-hull for the flush water unused. That might be and option. A lot of owners have mixed feelings about the V-berth sink. You might consider that as an option too.I find that our 16,000BTU unit is undersized. Go as big as possible and look for variable speed compressor and blower. Air distribution is a challenge. Ducting just doesn't fit.I look forward to hearing how your solution works cause I need to upgrade.Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+Solomons, MD On Thu, Sep 19, 2019, 9:58 AM Edd Schillay via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote:Listers,Yesterday, I met with an AC installer on the Enterprise to cool off the main and aft cabin, as well as fight off mold and mildew (as I understand it, the expectation of growth of mold and mildew in this area is far more reliable than, say, David Risch actually attending a C&C Rendezvous). The plan is to sacrifice some of the aft-cabin hanging locker. Until I haul the boat again, which I don’t plan to do for another four years or so, I don’t have a dedicated through-hull. I’ve heard it’s not a good idea to tee off of the engine intake, but there is the galley sink drain nearby. Any issues with tee-ing off of that one? Obviously, I’d need to refrain from dumping chemicals into the sink while the AC is running so as those chemicals don’t go through the AC. Anyone know of any issues with that plan?Also, I’m a little perplexed as to why tee-ing off the engine intake is so bad. The AC is 110V AC-powered, so it’s not like I’m going to have the engine running and the AC going at the same time? Or can I with my 2000-Watt inverter and high-capacity alternator?
