Hi, Nube here but I have to replace the compressor on my 1996 Hunter 430. It is located in the Aft area just in front of the propane locker and behind the aft berth bulkhead. Is the access thru the aft lasarette? I am physically not at the boat but I will be soon and my friend cannot figure it out who is looking after the boat. Any help much appreciated

Hello. Sorry to bother you on a different topic but, as you own a 430; I wondered if you might know if it is possible to fit a bow thruster?

Best regards. Bill S

I just inspected my unit. It appears the easy access is not so easy. I can reach it through the headboard access near the AC unit spot [owner's suite], or at least a skinny person can.:laugh:

BTW I had to seal that access with Duct Board to prevent outside air from entering the AC return air.
