I am in on the air conditioning idea. My wife is less and less tolerant of heat as time marches on and some nights it is over 90 degrees air temp and mid 80s water temps past midnight ☹. I figure I would use a Y fitting and vent cold air forward and aft with bulkhead vents. I am not sure what you mean about the 13 gallon tank – do you mean right aft of the mast on port? Right now I have a big tank under the V-berth and a smaller one aft on the port side just forward of the chart table. I need to look into that. If I toss the aft tank I could get batteries in there right up against the bulkhead very close to centerline.

Moved center of weight forward and starboard. :) The easiest thing is to put one or two flex tanks for your fresh water under the settee or on the floor of the hanging locker. Then toss the OEM fresh water tank. You might get a Plastimo 18031 13 gallon tank in the forward and center storage under the settee. Dennis C.

Batteries are on port. The midships water tank is on port. The largest storage area below is on port. Has anyone with a 35 MKI I figured out how to move heavy stuff to starboard? Speaking of weight, has anyone moved their batteries forward to reduce polar moment? Some $$$ in copper involved, but I am tempted.
