R31 Heated Head and Quarter Berth

[Skippy]

I use my boat all year and wanted to solve the discomfort of waking up overheated in the V-Berth then stepping into a frosty head. After consulting TugNuts posts I decided to add heat to the head AND quarter berth to more balance the heat distribution in Scout. It was easier than I anticipated!
Purchased: 1-90x90x60 Y, 1-60-60-60 Y, 2-60 vents and backing fittings, 10' 60 hose, 2-90 hose clamps, 6-60 hose clamps. ("mm" omitted)
Removed frig door and fittings then pulled fridge by removing four screws.
Cut 90mm duct to V-birth and put in 90-90-60 Y fitting.
Fished 60mm hose to port side and clamped to Y fitting, replaced fridge.
Removed quarter berth bulkhead: remove one screw at top and bottom port side, pull out.
Drilled hole in bulkhead and in shower wall, installed vents, put ducting together and connected shower vent.
Replaced bulkhead and connected hose to vent.
Tested system. Bring on the frosty mornings.
Photos of the 60mm work in the quarter berth are in an album. I failed to visually document the fridge work, but it's straight forward.

Wow! Fantastic idea and write up. I’ve been wanting to do this as well. Now you’ve made it easy. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy warm winter boating.

Thanks Skippy.
I installed heat to the head today. Easy install thanks to your write up and advise on removing the fridge door. I did mount the vent in a different location but still the same results.
