Underway AC, Battery Relocation and Inverter

[captstu]

I've just completed the relocation of the Shearwater's batteries, the installation of a ProMariner inverter, and a roof-top air conditioner for cooling underway.

There are lots of photos and discussion on the first few pages of Shearwater web site:

I appreciate all the help and comments that brought her to this stage. It is nice to have underway cooling without running the generator and it is especially nice to have no detectable list and good forward/aft trim. /Stu

You're killing me. I'd forgotten about the battery relo project for this spring. Thanks a lot for the reminder...

Good news is that our air conditioning needs are all direct diesel fired so no need for the inverter install 😉

Dan, There is room for one more boat in Florida - 12 month season, no ice, no winterizing -- and now that I solved the underway ac problem, no sweat. I'll save you a slip.

Nope. Been there, done that. If for some reason I do find my way back down there my vessel of choice will likely be a pontoon boat. And a kayak.
