Re: Stus-List Air conditioner placement
Our 1990 37/40 has plastic mirrors in the head and aft cabin (they look like glass) with no frames surrounding them on the head cabinet doors. The head cabinet mirrors cover the entire surface of the doors and there are narrow mirror filler strips above the doors as well. I've noticed the 1993 and later 37/40's have smaller mirrors in frames on the upper cabinet doors in the head so perhaps they switched back to glass with those? Ken H.

Re: Stus-List Air conditioner placement
Mine is set up like Josh's with no mirror over the engine, but one to the port side of the aft cabin engine area. However, the mirrors in the head are definitely glass, as one is cracked in one corner. In Tampa I find the A/C keeps up, but runs a lot to keep the interior comfortable.

Re: Stus-List Air conditioner placement
At the risk of being a smarta$$. Do you really need A/C up there at all? We never feel the need for it here in the Cape Cod and Islands area. Save you some storage, money and time getting rid of it. >From my Android From: CnC-List on behalf of Ken Heaton via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2018 3:40:17 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Ken Heaton; Chuck Saur Subject: Re: Stus-List Air conditioner placement Our A/C is installed under the companionway stairs, above the engine, as you suggested.

Re: Stus-List Air conditioner placement
Chuck, That is the best place to do it — and I’ve seen others there. The only problem I’ve heard of is the need to install new thru hulls for the AC as it’s not a good idea to share your engine intake. Take lots of photos. All the best, Edd --- Edd M.
