While the Mermaid 5200 AC unit was out we decide to change the ducking to insulated ducking.
This is because we were experiencing some condensation on the ducking in places when the AC did work. It was next to the head and salon bulkheads and by the hull. They say that if the ducking is next to the hull or going through the engine room etc it should be insulated. We decide that we will just do the ducking over as most of it should be insulated.
We firest had to get the transition box out and the teak 4x4 dck off.
The we used the saws all and the drummel to enlarge the ducking run up to the transition box. Not an easy job but we got it done. Then we removed the rest of the ducking.
Next we enlarged all the pass through holes with the saws all.
It was piece by piece install of the Y’s and ducking. Each connection got three wraps of 11 mill thick duck tape. Then a wire tied clamp and then another piece of duck tape to cover the wire tires clamp.
Then we pulled up the insulation and cover and taped again.
Then we used the plastic plumbers tape to hold the ducking and Y’s in place.
Where AC unit goes in aft hanging locker.
Forward hanging locker.
After that was done we screwed in the supply grills.

We then painted the 3M 5200 that seals the transition box with some Rust-O-olem gloss blak paint and re-attached the teak supply grill.
Now we are ready to roll again when the Ac gets back. Could
be we will be using it for heat instead of AC by the time it is running correctly J.
