my 31 te has a duct from forward unit under starbord bed side behind-under head thru area under helm and outlete to right rear of pilot house sink. it is a small flex duct---down south it does little good with outside temps above 80--- need larger duct. instillation doesn't look to difficult

let me get back to you on path --its very very hot now h.i. 110-115 so brousing the bilge is not exciting--cool front expected weekend and eill check head path--think it is along bottom stringet outboard of stringer but will verify

had rain this am h. i .droped to steam but i climbed down and here is the path

from ac unit in forward v berth hole a 8 " line travels under starb. berth to hatchwhere it split to three ducts--
main one in metal grill boot goes up to grill for cabin.

another duct goes down under deck thru kitch. cabinet to second cabin outlet at end of kitch cabinet facing berth--4x6 or 8"grill

third duct splits off main in afore mentioned hatch -goes under drawer under hanging closet --behind sink in head( remove cabinet liner under sink) under shower seat-- thru hole cut in wheel/cabin/head- bulkhead(very tight hole) along stringer to right rear of pilot house sink.

note this single small duct is to small--need 8" or three 4" also try to use insulated flex duct as heatloss on long run is significent--i plan to redo mine this winter.
feel free to call if i can help more
