84 3607 Aft Cabin AC Unit
Also, I likely need an AC pump, which will be a $400 pain but doable. But the strainer is tiny for 3 units, and in my waters will likely need a cleaning every two weeks. Anyone added a larger strainer or relocated to better service? Boat has a generator of unknown capabilities, that I likely will never use, that restricts access.
Thanks. Phil

Re: 84 3607 Aft Cabin AC Unit
You have to remove the mirror first. There are a couple screws from underneath that you get to under the vanity knee hole to remove that.
Once the countertop is off, you have PLENTY of access. I had thought about cutting the countertop with a big access hole from the top but never did that. For as rare as you actually have to get in there removing the countertop is really the best option, as it does give you FULL access, whereas with just a hatch on top you'd still be limited.
I thought I had posted some pictures in the "projects" thread were I have that area opened up... but I just looked at the thread and it only shows the ducting work. If I get a chance I'll see if I can find the photos of that portside cabinetry opened up.

Yours might not be exactly like this, as I custom made this, but I think it's fairly close to a stock implementation.
