[C320-list] Missing Aft Cabin Door

[Aaron Laskowski]

It just so happens that I was researching installing an AC unit is how I noticed. It was my intent to install a louvred vent in the door for airflow, when I realized it wasn't there!

We had a C320 for 16 years, took the door off in the second year after installing air conditioning, and never put it back on. The main reason is that the A/C out was into the galley, the return at the foot of the aft bunk where we slept, so we needed that unobstructed loop for airflow. The new owners did put the door back on though. Perhaps the previous owner of your boat still has the door?
