 Th ed fan an DC compressor are mounted in the port sail locker as far back
as possible. There used to be a shore power connection in that spot which I
never used, so i removed the connection which left a big hole, i bought a
clamshell cover and put that over the hole on the cockpit. Inside the
locker  I  used a piece of shopvac hose to connect the fan to the hole on
the inside.
