Thinking of putting in a Dometic 10k Btu reverse cycle a/c unit and have never installed one.
The biggest concern I have is about how loud it might be running the unit and cooling pump and where I should then locate it so I can sleep when I am done drinking I mean fishing.
Thinking currently is that it will go under the helm seat which is the forward end of my galley on the S side of the boat. I have to build all of this so making it fit shouldnt be a problem but I will need to allow room for the ducts, a return, the removal of the entire unit and just general access for cleaning and service.
Any tips for me? I would appreciate even the dumbest ideas anyone has since I am starting from scratch on this one.
