[C320-list] AC Install Advice

[Bryan Morton]

Rick

I tried to send you an e-mail directly but for some reason the e-mail is
failing.  Thanks again for your feedback on the
AC installation.  My e-mail is bryanmorton at gmail.com if you get
around to taking some photos.   On the seacock I was considering trying to
tap into the engine intake seacock for the rest of the season then
installing a dedicated through hull this winter for the AC after we pull
the boat out.

Thanks again

Bryan
