"Marine" air conditioners are really stupid on small boats like

the sleeping space!

========================

Most of the Hatts I've seen have them on an elevated rack in the
engine room. Bilge indeed...

In the Hat 56, circa 1981, they're mounted on a rack with a common water
pump and supply manifold to a common overboard drain above the waterline
on the port side of the little generator house under the galley
deck....actual in the bilge with the galley raised up about 4' so you can
crawl around on your knees inside there where it's 105F on a "normal" day
with some of them running...120F if one of the 2 gensets is lit off...
