[C320-list] Air condition installation questions

[Pat Moriarty]

Sounds like my installation. The duct will go all the way around and is 
tied up to the top of the lazaret.Unless your boat is lying on its side you 
will never throw anything on the duct. The thermostat is located near the 
light on the starboard side in the forward end of the rear bedroom, can be 
reached from the door way. At least that is how mine was done. Good luck. 
The pan drain was run to a thru-hull on the center transom above the water 
line and the water return is run just below the bilge outlet starboard 
side. If I were to do the installation it might get mounted at the foot of 
the bed in the lazaret. I know about port list but it sure is quieter and 
the 2005 boat next to mine is done this way.
