With the salon settee mostly finished and the aft stateroom AC installed, next I tackled the V-berth AC installation. Since all three systems rely on the same raw water pump, I can’t use any of them until all three are ready to work.
All of the wiring, hoses, and main duct are routed and ready to connect
After installing the AC unit, I started cutting outlet holes
One AC outlet will be near the V-berth door to help chill the galley.
Sharpie marks the spot
Tape off the urethane clear coat and drill holes in the corners
I was very nervous about scratching the clear coat
Mission accomplished (with no clear coat damage)
I made a foam gasket for the duct transition box
Screwed in place from below
Ducting came next
I finished the other ducting for the V-berth back in 2018…mostly.
Mechanical, plumbing, and electrical connections are done in here
That is a fine looking air conditioner enclosure
The fiberglass filter material is ugly, but I need it until the refit is done
2″ PVC duct needs to be routed to the head
The plywood wall to the right is the forward wall in the head.
Next I cut a duct hole in the V-berth head
Next, I enlarged the hole to the size of the outlet frame
I sealed the exposed plywood all the way around with epoxy.
Duct outlet fits perfectly!
Duct connection to the transition box
The plywood with the first round hole and caulk seals the duct to the transition box
That’ll do
