[C320-list] Air Conditioning

[Jane & Ken]

Been there, done that.  I used a King Air 16,000  BTU unit and decided on the analog controls due to power surges at the marina.  Did it as a one person operation.  Unit is mounted in the starboard lazzeret.  I ran a seperate power tap for the unit off of the input from the shore power.
  A/C duct outlets were installed in the aft cabin and over the refrigerator bulkhead. Total job required about 9 hours.
   The second installation on my friends 320 took about four hours---he helped---and he used the digital controls.  Works fine either way.  We sail on Lake Texoma, borders Oklahoma/Texas with sun and temps rather high.  At 115 on a sunny day, they just work hard to keep temp and humidity bearable.  Ken
