1987 32' carver - Glad to be here. The reason I'm here trying to find out how to access the A/C unit. My understanding it is under the sink area - but can not find out how to access it. Thanks

Best answer I can give you…where is your air return? Chances are real good the unit will be within a couple feet, if not directly behind it.
With any new boat, get a good flashlight, open every hatch, open doors, look under mattresses, etc. Carver has a real good habit of hiding openings.
Find all through hulls, bilge pumps, sump pumps….identify hoses and what their purpose is. Find your onboard water system water pump as there is a real good chance you will be replacing it at some point.

Welcome aboard!!

Posting up some pictures of your situation always helps folks visualize what you're dealing with. It might also help folks who used to have that model or a similar model remember where things are at.

Found the A/C unit - Luckily all it was is a switch that was tripped for not having any water running through the a/c (it works). But good luck if it needs to be serviced there is no way I can see you can get to the unit without tearing out cabinets or seats. Thanks for the input, appreciated.
