I thought I'd share a couple of AC mods/tricks I learned long ago.
1) Keeping water out of the condensation pan. If the pan isn't mounted just right water will sit in the pan causing it to rust and or overflow causing moisture on your cabin floor. I use a chemical injector from a pressure washer. Dema 204c works the best. I purchased mine from a car wash supply house. Dultmeier Sales has them online. I modify by removing the check ball. Install the largest office that comes with it. This device is installed inline on the discharge hose for the AC cooling water. Install after the AC unit. The small line of the top the, the injector hose is placed in the condensation pan wherever there is the greatest pool of water. The hose will have a suction on it whenever water is being discharged overboard. I adjust the flow screw about 3 turns out. It will keep the pan complete water free. (See pics)
2) Discharge port insert tube. I hate that nasty brown stain on the side of the boat below the AC water discharge thru hull fitting. If you take some 1/2 od plastic tubing, I use a 3" piece. Wrap a couple of turns of electrical tape around it and then push it firmly in to the thru hull fitting leaving about 1" sticking out from the fitting, water will shoot away from the hull and none will dribble down the hull so you won't get that tea cup stain.
