That's great and all, but you really don't need to post the same thread in multiple forums. I figured you've been here long enough to know that, but I guess not.

So you go and do the same thing with your response? :huh:

 

[mmcguire2002]

Agreed. I just thought that the sarcastic tone, combined with the same actions he was being chastised for, was a little hypocritical. He definitely posted in too many areas, but the guy worked for 2 years on his boat and you took the wind right out of his sails, so to speak.

On the 2nd video, what's the vapor coming out when you had the engine hatch open?
Also, it looks like you have a 110V fan in the engine bay?
Other than that it looks like you're doing well, except you forgot to post it in the great lakes and mid states area..........................

 

[mmcguire2002]

Well.....you're right. I did take the wind out of his sails, and for that I apologize.

Nice. A little civility on this forum. Good to see. :smt038

Nice work!

Looks really nice. Would you describe the A/C up front in the V-birth?

Mike,
Not to steal 83's thunder but I did the same thing on my old 260 DA. It had a carpet covered plywood bulkhead with a long , narrow mirrored access door there. On the other side is the anchor line locker. I figured that since it already had a drain there I could use it for the AC. I found a compact unit that was only 9" deep and installed it in the same spot. This allowed me access to the locker from the top deck as there was a hatch already in place there. I just opened the hatch when I ran the AC. Since my primary destination was a marina at Fire Island , I was usually plugged into shore power. Obviously this would not work while on the hook due to a lack of a generator!

83, Sorry if I jumped your response!

No No... Thanks for the response. My 270da is set the same way except for the hatch. I'm searching for a way to do an AC unit without going with the full marine unit. I would still need a way to dissipate heat. On shore power, but have generator too. Oh well, but again, thanks for the response..
