29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

What is the enclosed compartment We see on that picture? Is it an enclosed head/portapoty ? First time I see this on a 29 Outlaw?? Was that an option?

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

It is a storage area. There is one on the other side as well. Nice size storage probably 1/2 a foot by 1 foot. It is on all 29s.

Thank you, that was fast answering! :D

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Can you fit the portipot in this space, or is it to small even for that? Looking at buying one, but have never been in the cabin of one.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Hey, That is my boat!
There is not room for a port-a-potty there. The door is probably not even 16" wide. Up front is a place to put one. It goes under the bed. Really easy to get out.
My question is why you need a potty to begin with? I just pee off the back of the boat. Works great, really impresses the on-lookers. :rolleyes:

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Mine came with the porta-potty under the bed up front. It is easy access and plenty of room. The two compartments are closets/storage. I put an ice chest in one side and the a/c in the other of mine. Also put doors on mine instead of the curtains Here are some pics of my cabin if it helps you.

How does the a/c do for you? 110v I guess? Where did it come from & how much? A/C is on my short list.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

It works great! It will run off shore power or the gen I mounted in the engine compartment!

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

The dimension is 12" wide by 281/4" deep on each side. Igloo makes a small cooler that will fit in there. Get one for each side and you're done.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Customtouch, tell me more about the A/C unit? What is the brand? Do you have any more pics of the install?

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Customtouch, last question, what are your locker doors made from? Did you make them?

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

The a/c unit is a Mermaid and the gen is a self-contained Honda 1000 watt . It is mounted on the port side between the hull and the motor. I had to build a shelf to mount it to and notch out a small section of the engine compartment to fit it in. I mounted it with transom tie downs so it can be removed for service. You can see all of this in the first post. You can see in this picture where I built an exhaust pipe that goes up high and drops down to stop backwash. At the bottom of the pipe I injected the cylcled water from the a/c unit so the exhaust would be water cooled going through the transom. I wrapped the exhaust pipe with header tape to contain the heat. I also added a blower motor to the fresh air intake in front of the gen to blow cold air on it and keep it cool.

Here is a close up of the a/c unit mounted in the closet. The condensation over flow drains into the bilge.

Here is a picture of the pump and sea strainer mounted to the stinger. There is a shut-off valve where the water comes in through the clamshell pick-up in the bottom of the boat but you cannot see it in the picture. I mounted it all to a piece of starboard and then attached it to the stringer so it could be removed easily for service. P.S. the plug you see is for the battery tend and has nothing to do with the a/c.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Here is the exhaust tip comming out the back of the boat. It is a factory tip with a flapper to prevent backwash.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

I also added a couple of extra vent holes to let out the hot air.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Here is a picture of the digital thermostat. Set it and it works just like home.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Here is a picture of the adjustable air vent. It only has one but that is all it needs.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

Sweet set-up. Thanks for taking the time to share the detail...I see a project coming real soon...

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

I cut the doors out of a solid piece of starboard and mounted them with stainless hinges from West Marine.

Re: 29 OL owners cabin question please...
 

It was a time consuming project that took alot of thought but it was worth it in the long run. If you decide to try it ,feel free to ask me any questions. There are alot more details to it that you will want to know when you start doing it!!!! :drink:
