[C320-list] Seacock question / AC Install

[Jack Brennan]

Hi Troy:

If I were doing a replacement, I would definitely do it myself. But an original install requires insights that, frankly, I’m not confident I have. 

Where to put the through hull. Where to put the ducts. How to arrange and re-arrange all of the wiring so it makes sense. And, frankly, I’m not confident in my ability to plan  a complete system without making a mistake.

Better to spend a couple of grand and make sure it’s done right. That will make my insurance company happy. Plus, I’m getting old enough that all of that boat yoga takes its toll on my body.

Boat is now  79°F and yup,  very comfortable.   But we will let it keep
going, we like it when the boat is soaked on the outside in the morning..
 ;)

We have the mermaid condensator.   I replaced all of the hoses for the AC
and the condensator when I installed the AC this spring.  Honestly it's a
no brainer to install and since there are no moving parts it should work as
long as the Venturi stays clear we have a filter just before the
condensator on the tubing coming from the condensate pan.

Cheers
