Hello again Steve,

I have received the Marine Air VTD12K-410A that I recently purchased from you.  It looks great.

And I have now removed my old Marine Air CM16H.

A question about the mounting brackets:  My old unit was secured to a fixed base that is made up of 1/2 inch plywood with a fiberglass on top.  It was attached by four 3/8 inch threaded studs that had been secured into the plywood with epoxy or 3200, which then had nuts on top.  Of course those studs are useless now as they don't match the footprint of the new unit.  Given that I cannot access the underside of the plywood base, what is the best way to secure the new unit?  Lag screws?  Threaded stud as in prior installation?  Something else?

Thanks, George

Thanks Steve,

Will use lag screws or pan head as you say.

As you may recall, I never had a blower adapter on my old unit, as the setup went from the square blower to a custom fiberglass right angle box.  Downstream from that I have an old adapter for 6 inch duct but unfortunately it does not cover the air spaces around the square blower vent on the new Turbo.  So yes, please send a new adapter for 6 inch duct.  

- George

Here is your Splitter picture George…click on it to enlarge

To me it doesn't look any larger than the one next to it…In one of your previous photos you showed where the old one was installed with the large end sticking thru a bulkhead….

Instead of doing that with the new one…Why can't you instead bring the 6" duct thru that hole & into the cabinet about a foot or so, bend it (the duct) 90 degrees & mount the new splitter higher in that cabinet where you may have more space out to the hull ?

Answer to your second question…No you Cannot use two 4" ducts on a 12K….Two 4" ducts do not equal one 6" duct…

There has to be a way to run two 5's…Be Creative or get a second opinion…Sometimes another set of eyes helps.

Since we have been talking beginning back in June…I have been very clear on the ducting requirements of each unit we have considered…Two 4" ducts would only be good for 8K & that size unit may not do the job you want…

Is there a way to maybe run 3 outlets…Add one more ?

Oh and here is your second picture:

It would require another splitter George~

Or you could do what Brian did on this page in another forum I visit…Last post on the page: http://flybridge.proboards.com…..8;page=106
