[C320-list] Air Conditioner install questions.

[David J Cardoza]

Nor really enough room on port side with the fridge unit and I don't want to block access to climbing in to inspect or repair steering.  I'm in Mass so the heat is nothing like Texas so I was going to build a replacement hatch and vent it (incase it turns out to be a really bad idea)  non ducted return.  That way if it does not work I can duct it through to where I think yours is.  Did you use the floor drain through the stern for the outlet or cut a new one in?

My drain is to the center of the stern from the starboard locker. Are
you not going to duct the return air? You are correct that the unit
is very noise by your head and the 320 next to me has it at the foot
of the bead in the port locker which is much quitter but more list
and lost space. The duct runs on a port installation are very short
and would be more efficient if you are in a hot climate like Texas.
