I want to install an air conditioner in my boat, and I am wondering where the water hose goes by from the engine room pump, to the unit under the bed !

Anyone have more informations or suggestions about installing it ?

thank you !

Do you intend to install yourself? If yes, allow a lot of time. I installed a Cruisair unit myself. Logged all the time it took. Installing thru hulls, pumps, wiring to shore power panel, installing the unit, running around collecting parts, drilling thru bulkheads for the water lines and air ducts, etc. it took me 5 full days, 8-10 hours a day. Its a LOT of work. Do good research before you jump in.
I did on different SR model than yours so i cant compare details, but i can share the pain. However, after 40 hours sweating in the summer to do it, I never regretted doing it.
PS. I did this myself on 2 sea rays. The 2nd time was no easier, i just knew what to do better, which cut down the time collecting parts.

The thing I encountered that wracked my brain was how to run the condensation hose from the unit to a sump to pump overboard. Ended up running it above the carpet (exposed) to the shower sump, not pretty but functional.
