I will install this summer an air condition unit on my 1989 SeaRay 268.
The unit is a Mermaid 9000 BTU purchased from West Marine. I was
wondering if someone has any layout on where will be the best location
for the main unit (low noise, high performance, etc).

Any advice is more than welcome.

I had an '87 270 Dancer with the AC fitted under the forward bunk. I
would have preferred another location but that is where the previous
owner stuck it.

Thank you for the input Jim.
I will prefer to install in a different location and my concern is the
noise under the forward bunk.

I hope that someone has a different location for the A/C unit.

Jim,
thank you for your input realy apreciated.
I hope that maybe someone will sugest a different place to locate the
A/C unit.
The forward bunk will be too noisy for someone (wife) to sleep on the
forward bunk.

Thank you, Sam

I have an 87' 268' and the A/C Unit is installed under the stearn Seat of
the Kitchen Table in the middle of the boat. There are 3 duct's. 1. Goes
into the Closet blowing towards the Kitchen Table. The 2nd duct passes
through the closet, and into the storage locker at the foot of the Aft Cabin
bed, blowing into the Aft Cabin at the foot of the bed. the 3rd duct
travels at the base of the table against the Port hull, through the front
Storage locker below the seat, and then under the first port stoage cabnit,
and then up from below into the 2nd cabnit, blowing towards Bow from inside
the cabnit witha vent. This is the most logical application that we could
find, and seems to work well. We have covered the Duct's in Carpeting to
match the boat for looks, and protection of the tubes. Hope this helps.

This is the setup that I had in mind, just wasn't sure if someone has
this setup.
Where is the control thermostat mounted for the best results?

Thank you,
Sam
