Default Swapping AC unit in boat...

How hard is it, I believe the type that is in there now is discontinued, not to mention company is no longer around. If I get a replacement how hard is it to change. Should everything be the same for wiring, power, and ducting? Or is this something I should have a professional do.

Ive put several in boats. Most use flexible ducts and wire in the same basic way. Most likely have to use the control they give you with it rather than just hook yours to the new one but all in all not very difficult at all.
