    420AC : Salon hatch removal

    Mine died last summer. I was able to get it out with no problem. I think the only thing I removed was the freezer door. I had it repaired for around $500.

    420AC Thread

    The compressor is behind the cabinet in the galley above the stove. The problem is more likely the horn itself. You will need to remove it from the anchor locker and clean or replace the diaphrams. I got away with just cleaning mine.

    Burn Rate for 2000 42 Aft Cabin with Cat's

    Burn Rate for 2000 42 Aft Cabin with Cat's

    I figure 25 gals for 20 miles at cruise rpms(2300-2400). This keeps me on the safe side. I always run the generator and I figure about 1-gal/hr on the starboard tank and it usually come close to that.

    I have the 420 hp and Frank is right on with the burn rate. At 2400rpm I cruise around 20-21 kts.
