    05 Mainship 34 A/C removal in salon compartment

    No cutting necessary. The deck has a removable laminate floor. Find the seams and remove. Underneath find the sub floor with screws to remove and access the ac unit

    05 Mainship 34 A/C removal in salon compartment

    Removal of a/c on 34 Mainship Thanks Bacchus. Yes yours has a cutout and mine does not. I have already been in touch with an air conditioning specialist who agrees the best way to do this job is cut a window in the box that is in the engine room forward. It looks like that is what I will do...

    05 Mainship 34 A/C removal in salon compartment

    Keith thank you for the information. I have posted in the picture section of this form what my salon floor/deck looks like. It is beautiful and I hate to think that I have to cut it not even knowing that the unit would come out that way. So, I am opting to cut the box in the engine room forward...

    05 Mainship 34 A/C removal in salon compartment

    A/C removal on 34 Mainship Thanks for your reply. My situation appears to be different. When I remove the return grill, the deck floor consist of 1/4 “ finished flooring on top of a 3/4” sub floor. There are no screws visible and I hesitate to try prying up the finished deck. About 3 inches...

    05 Mainship 34 A/C removal in salon compartment

    Thank you for your interest. I do not have any photo at the moment but I can assure you that the opening of the return is not large enough to remove the existing unit. The unit itself is enclosed in a sealed fiberglass compartment in the engine room. I have consulted with an AC expert and he has...

    Can anyone explain how to remove the A/C compressor in the sealed under deck of my 2005 34 Mainship salon? Removal of the return grill shows a cutout in the floor of the deck too small for removal. Is the only option to cut the sealed box in the engine room? Cutting the deck will not work as...

    Raw water strainer baskets on MS 2005 trawler Bronze units by Marine Hardware. The raw water strainers for both A/C and Kohler Gen are really hard to find. Looks like they measure 1 1/2 “ in diameter by 10”. Both are eaten away. Can anyone tell me where I can get replacements? If you know of...
