  1. OWNER - I own a Hatteras Yacht
Hatteras Model
43' DOUBLE CABIN (1970 - 1984)
A few years ago I replaced the original air handler in my salon with a package unit.
It worked fine but was kinda loud .
So, I am moving it to a new location in the V berth under the starboard bunk.
I routed the ductwork along the starboard side under the galley counter, and thru the area where the fire bottle is located. 2 ducts in the salon and Another (smaller) duct will discharge in the V berth.
I will post the results soon. Heat index outside is around 100 degrees lately.

interesting. what size are you planning on?
ive got the 2 16k splits and the salon will sometimes struggle on the 90+ days.
i do set it at 68 and there are lots of windows so its self inflicted.
 
I replaced the original split units with 2 package units. 6K in master closet and 16K in the salon.
Adding 2 supply vents (just below the windows) greatly improved the air distribution.
Still,During the peak heat of the day I put up some window shades on the side glass. Like the shades used for car windshields.
 
i replaced the air handler on the salon 16k maybe 10 years ago and rerouted the vent to where your countertop is, might and day circulation difference.
i have a lower station there, it fit just to the right.
