Compressor Under the Sink

My V32 had the compressor mounted under the sink. It was an AB unit. The evaporator was one that had a freezer. Personally, I'd go with the 'L' shaped one and skip the freezer evaporator since it didn't really keep things fully frozen and it does take up space. I did not install it however. Hey, Richard, where do you keep your boat? A couple of us from this board are sailing down to PV in November. Maybe we could come by. Rick D.

Location

Rick, Thanks.... Exactly which model AB dod you install ? DO you think it could work putting it under the banquet next tot the sink cabinet and putting in a grille for ventilation ? (I do not live aboard) I keep my boat in Neuvo Vallarta which is just north of Marina Vallarta. It is a much smaller marina than Marina Vallarta BUT alot more homey. I travel back and forth (by plane) alot until December when I will be there full time. Write me at BOTH emails (rstan@bcn.net AND rstan@prodigy.net.mx) I will be happy to show you around. Richard

Thanks, Richard

I can't help with the model or installation options since it was factory-installed. Which brings up a point: call Hunter. Maybe someone has some institutional memory. There are four of us sailing a Dickerson 40 ketch down to PV; supposed to take off November 1st. I'll take your e-mail and send you one if the owners SSB link is up. Rick D.
