[C320-list] A/C Return Air Grill Size

[Paul Rickman]

Affinity came with 16K BTU. 8K in the back, 8K in the front, two returns and four blowers, one big one
in the saloon, one in the v-birth, one in the head, and one in the aft.  Works great for me, but most will say it is over done. But it does cool down smartly.

16000 BTU...sheesh, your boats' gonna be an icebox.  I was thinking  
12000 max, less if possible when we go for it.
