Getting Ready to Install Our FIRST EVER AC!! (MJ Sailing - Ep 365)

Can you believe we're finally getting to the install part of our build?? Although, since most things won't get permanently mounted until the end, I guess we could call this a fitting, haha. This week we prepare for the install of our 9k BTU AC unit from Marine Breeze, into our master berth. We went with a slightly smaller unit here, because it is meant for when we close off this hull and just want to cool our berth at night when we sleep. There will be a 16k BTU getting installed in the other hull, which will have vents to the bridge deck. Since we hadn't originally planned for AC on this boat, we didn't have a dedicated space to put it. Which means - glassing in new adjustments!! Luckily there is a space that is just about perfect for it, under our berth. We just need to make it a little deeper. Matt sets to work measuring out the space, cutting the shelf, and glassing it back in 1/2" lower. Once it's in place and can handle the weight, we do a dry fit of the unit to make sure it fits. Then, it's on to custom duct work. We'll each have our own vent that will allow us to control how warm or cool we want to be in bed (hopefully). This is going to be such a great addition to our cruising life, we can't wait to get on the water and start using it! We hope you enjoy!!
