Removed the porta potti and installed a 5000 BTU Cruisair unit....plumbed the water pickup and wiring through the Heads overboard discharge hose leading to the bilge. Used the same thru hull fitting as a pick-up for the water supply. Removed the starboard bench seat in the cabin to install the AC water discharge out the side......

Created a new face panel hold the cold air return grill. Found the same fabric so everything would match.
NOTE: The factory cushion had to be altered to account for the cabinet........

I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB ENGINEERING THE UNIT TO FIT. LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS THERE. GREAT JOB!!!!!
 
I have been meaning to post this series for some time.....only used the AC 4 times then sold the boat 3 months later. Picked up a 382 that was loaded so all's good!
 
I just got a 312 and was wondering why you did not install it where the ice box is? Did you want to use the ice box? I did not take the measurements. Just thinking about it.
