Will, you may not want to hear this, but unless you are located in Canada, the small hatch mounted A/C will not be adequate to cool your C&C 40. I have a Landfall 38 with onboard 16,000 Btu A/C and some extremely hot days In Baltimore MD it works very hard. Before you make any more investment in time and money. I would consider a much larger A/C.
