2 installation locations that you may want to consider are under the V-berth and under the stairs. Ours is under the stairs. Blue Pearl had one under the V-berth.
Since I have a Vacu-flush head from the PO it left a thru-hull for the flush water unused. That might be and option. A lot of owners have mixed feelings about the V-berth sink. You might consider that as an option too. I find that our 16,000BTU unit is undersized. Go as big as possible and look for variable speed compressor and blower. Air distribution is a challenge. Ducting just doesn't fit. I look forward to hearing how your solution works cause I need to upgrade.
