I did it 2 years ago...pretty easy job in my opinion. I was able to get a 16K BTU unit under the helm seat. I have some pictures of the job at this link: https://wolfsden460sundancer.shutterfly.com/pictures/29Anyone ever added cockpit heat and air to the 460? I am considering a winter project. I have not been able to find the link if it has been discussed.
TIA

You can message me if you need more information.
Walter, call me. We just did the same thing last January . Too many things to think about in a posting. Id be happy to share my experience .Back to the drawing board on our boat search as the Wisconsin boat appears to be off the market.
I'm heading to brackish water to look at a very nice 460 today. Everyone in Chicago is telling me not to do a brackish or salt water boat. My counter is "there are a lot of salt water boats out there that give people years of love." The one I'm looking at is a 2004 460 with only 450 hrs on the Cummins engines. They kept pretty good maintenance records. I know corrosion, through hull fittings, etc. issues. What else should I be concerned with? Not considered a salt-ish water boat before. Which ever boat we chose, we'll be taking her into salt, so, I'm not that adverse with some help from those who "know". Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys! Will try that. Anyone know of a way to get gph individually for each engine? My Mercury SystemView only shows combined gph from what I can see.Charlie,
Mike hit it on the head. When I started I was only getting 2600 max RPM on the starboard and 2590 on the port.
I originally asked the prop shop to take some pitch out and they said that would be to much and they could be
more precise and get me the 80-90 RPMs with a little cup removal. After hitting the 2680 I checked the fuel burn
on the chart and they hit the numbers perfectly
I haven't, but now that I put new carpet on the boat, I am planning to drill a hole and glue a fitting from behind and put a hose on it.Has any of you 460 owners drilled a drain behind the captains chair in the floor? Just wondering. It is a pain in the butt when you wash the cockpit that the water pools behind on the floor.
I use phosphoric acid from Home Depot. It’s called prep and etch and its in the paint section.
I use a homemade system which is easy to replicate. I have a rule 2000 bilge pump mounted in the bottom of a bucket with input and output lines and 12v clamp connectors. Circulate the solution for about 45 minutes per line and you won’t believe what it clears out. The return line I made with clear tubing and is about 40 feet long. All I do is feed it in at the manifold and out after each ac back into the bucket
