Thanks for responding Sandy.  My only opening to fit the unit would be
thru the forward hatch which means I'd have to install this unit on
it's head (if that makes sense).  Wouldn't that mess up the way it was
designed to drain, etc?  You've had no problems with using a
non-marine AC unit in the salt air?
