Robert, I sounds like your set up is similar to what existed. Except I have a large duct going to the v-berth which splits in the back of a closed off area of the hanging locker with one connection going to a small round vent in the v-birth and the other going to a much larger rectangular vent for the main salon. I don’t have any duct going to the aft cabin which eventually I would like to rectify. My thruhull, seacock, and strainer are located under the galley sink. Do you have a scoop on your intake?
My quick measurements indicate that the 16,00BTU/hr units would fit, but taking note of your setup, I will carefully measure the available space again this weekend. Thanks for your input.
