T&T: AC experiment.

[FloridaKeyz@aol.com]

Since my Marine AC unit went TU on our last trip, I have decided  to put in a 
standard Window shaker, and mount it in the bow , in the center of  the 
anchor rode compartment. Note the anchor lines are behind a wall on either  side to 
this compartment and totally isolated from this area.
 
My thoughts are I will have to use a forced air fan to ventilate the heat  
from the compartment, and just let the water from the unit go into the bilge. I  
think I will require a pretty high volume fan to pull this hot air out  and 
existing unused 4 inch round Ha user pipe that is already thru the bow  deck.
 
I thing I can do the whole job for about $200 or less for materials.
 
Any comments, thoughts, or advise on this would project be  appreciated, 
before I start "tearing' into the job.
 
and for anyone interested, we have finalized our last trip on our web page,
