I am a fairly new 36MKII owner and would like to add AC to the boat. I have chosen Ocean Breeze for my unit and am checking out the installation obstacles etc. Also have read others posts and the available information in the "Catalina 36 - Owner to Owner" Upgrade book. Most info I find leaves out the actual getting the duct to the V Berth
I have located and figured out routing for the duct work except for how to get the 4" duct hose from the salon to the head. Once in the head I know how to run through the medicine cabinet to V-Berth.
There is a bulk head between the salon and head. This had a chain plate attached which prevents me from going through the salon louver cabinet and into the head. There is fiber glassed conduit in the top of the oval cubbies behind the back cushions that prevent running length wise toward the head. Trying to run it in the bottom of those cubbies doesn't give 4" in the end near the head and again would be really near the chain plate and require going through the bulkhead. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I feel I must be overlooking something.
