    AC in forward cabin

    I had 46 and AC was located beneath V-berth. You're right, you need AC. I replaced all of mine (3) with 16K. Came with 16 in salon, 12 in v-berth and 12 in master. I also got the darkest tint I could get on all windows.

    Converting old bulbs to LED question

    LED Bulbs Just figure out what type bulb it requires. You should be able to find what you need. I replaced all mine in my '89 Grand Banks. Pull one bulb...look at it then go find same (not from West Marine....WAY too expensive) on line. I've replaced EVERY single one on my boat including...

    Cruising across Florida west to east

    I've done it several times. since I'm most often alone, coming and going, I go around. If you've never seen tip of Florida (Capes Romano and Sable), it is worth it. Lots of long beaches with NO one on them....'cept crocks (which are, by the way, VERY shy and beautiful. Not dangerous. Most...

    34T to Key West and Maybe the Bahamas

    Have been over there. Also use watermaker (a must given what you're going to do). Besides upgrading to a 12KW Northern Lights, adding the watermaker is the best and most freeing thing I've done. Carry 600 gallons of fuel so freshwater is the one thing I needed to be FREE!

    Installing a new generator

    You may be close. I had an 8K Westerbeke replaced with 12KW Northern lights. It was a bit more than your number but it is a bigger genset. Just needed to be installed and connected. You'll have to do a bit more than that. BUT, you're probably not far off.
