Re: Adding a second Air Conditioning Unit to 350 Mariner
If you need ducting, let me know. I just picked up a variety of surplus parts from one of the local installers who retired I have 2, 4 and 6" flex and a whole bunch of various colored 4" grill/registers and a several other parts. When you get your list together let me know.

Re: Adding a second Air Conditioning Unit to 350 Mariner
Watch the water flow. A 16K unit calls for 400 GPH. My 14 year old pump at a 1000 GPH (at 3 feet of head) I feel is struggling to supply both units. I suspect it is time to upgrade/replace that also. Grrrr it's a never ending cycle.
I was messy for a while, some trimming (cutting) involved, I had to space the ice maker out about an inch with some black starboard to gain some room for lines behind it...

You could measure your water flow to check...timed 1 gallon, then a little math will give you the flow now...

Math is hard. I'm looking for a 1000 gallon tank, and just let it run for an hour.
On the realistic side, the pump splits into to two lines just past the pump. The upper unit outflow hose runs all the way to the stern and exits there. The unit under the bed exits in a thru hull in the bow. I can access the upper's return line before it exits (under the swim platform, right near water lever) pull it, put it in my 1000 gallon tank, (might get 500 and only have to multiply x 2 ) and see what it's doing.
