Need assistance in installing A/C unit

Post by wxb167 »

Hello:

I have a 1986 Carver Mariner 32 and I would like to install an a/c unit. However, I'm a bit stumped - would you know where do you root the water line from the pump to the a/c unit?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian

Not an AC guy, but I would think you want the AC water pump about as close to your thru hull as possible, and then look for the shortest, most logical run from the pump to your AC unit. map out everything...where to mount the AC unit, water line runs, electrical runs, duct work, pump location, thru hull location. What is the easiest, best way to go.

Pump should have the least amount of suction distance from sea cock to pull. It can push water better than suck it it in.
