Thinking about installing air conditioning in my 353 and have a few of questions:
- Where does does the discharge come out? On previous boats I've had it came out the side of the boat near the unit, but Formula installs the unit under the v-birth. I'm guessing they didn't put a discharge hole towards the bow.
- What size/BTU's are needed?
- Are there any other places it can be installed besides under the v-birth?
I have pictures of the install from Formula, but could not find this info in what they sent me.

We had an 05 353 and bought it used without A/C. We had Shipyard Marine in WI install factory a/c and the discharge was at the stern under the swim platform, Formula does not usually factory install side discharge. The unit was located under the v birth and worked very well, felt like it was snowing in there.

Question, could the unit be mounted under the sink? Or even at the bottom of the closet where the breaker panel is installed?
I was thinking discharge hose could be mounted just under the bilge port outlet
