Has anyone installed an aftermarket AC/heat unit on a1990's 290 Sundancer? Any difficulties? Where did you situate the unit?

I did on a 81 268. I put it under the V birth. It was not to bad to install the only problem is installing the duct work. Just plan talk to people and you will be fine. Here is where I get anything for the Boat A/C. http://www.flagshipmarine.com/ and ask for Tom.

Flagship rocks....EXCEPT..... if you are going to heat, it's straight electric, not reverse cycle. Something to consider if you are early or late season cruising with a gennie.

Thanks. SR dealer siad aftermarket install couldn't be done on a 290. IMHO, if it was offered as an option, there's got to be a way to do it aftermarket. Will check with Flagship.

That's crap can't be done. RIGHT! They told me that on my 268 to. I put a 9000 BTU in it and it worked fine. Let me tell you on the heat. It takes less power than the A/C to run. Plus it will heat you out !!! Never had a problem with it. The A/C unit on my 34 took a crap after I got it and I went back to Flagship and got a 16000 BTU instead of the 12000 that came from the factory. 6 years so far the only thing I had problems with was the thermostat. Instead of the marine one I would go to Home depot and get a $29 Honeywell. Works like a charm.

Pure nonsense. My 2465 Regal never offered AC as an option and I had a 10K unit installed. Worked like a champ.
