Thanks!!el jefe said:If this is a Marlin, there are two blower (cold air out) vents. One is located in the aft berth on the port side bulk head. The other, on my 2005, is located on the small bulkhead in the galley area facing toward the bow. It's just above above the small locker behind the sink and cook top. The ac panel is right next to it. For the return, it is located under the steps. So you can see there is a straight line conceptually for the air vent, return, air vent.

My ac unit is under the galley. Return air in aft cabin bulkhead adjacent to stairs. AC supplies in port side aft cabin and top step riser in cabin. Also a small supply in fwd bulkhead of head. It is fed by a duct from the unit around all the under vee berth storage compartments. I would've come from the aft cabin to the head. The raw water pump was mounted under the cabin sole next to the shower sump. BAD PLACE! for 4 more feet of hose it could have been mounted in the cavern under the aft berth. If I have another problem with mine, that's where it will go.
The installer only seated the pvc fittings by 1/3 thread with teflon tape. After 3 years leaks started. Further he did not screw in the rear mounting screws on the pump causing it to vibrate and make nasty noises. I bought a 90 deg drill fitting at Harbor Freight and found the center of one mounting grommets blind, drilled and installed screw with a stubby screwdriver.
Now, no leaks and the system is quiter than ever.
If you consider adding ac to your boat and are somewhat handy, do it yourself. Think it thru and spend the time necessary. You'll get a better job. Maybe sub out the electrical. If you trailer and want a high speed inlet scoop mount it behind the fwd trailer crossmember.
I will be reviewing this with my dealer.
