Nicely done, as per your usual, Eric. It looks factory and I like that.

Re: R22 Air compressor
Does the new unit have a 'dehumidify' duty cycle option? Some of the new digital ACs have this, very useful.

Re: R22 Air compressor
Wow. I was about to pull the trigger and replace my split units with split units. Now I will definitely be looking into this.Is the compressor noise loud with it located in the salon? How much wood work did you have to do behind the bulkhead?

Re: R22 Air compressor
The compressor makes no noise. The only noise is from the fan which is minimal. I don't think there was much if any woodwork other than a few 1x pieces for the unit to sit on. The main thing that had to be done back there was to block off the fwd end of the hull side vents which open to that space. Then we added foam pieces to the inside of the return panel to insure that the return air was coming from the cabin and not the space behind the wall which vents to outside air.
