What is everyone doing to seal their carry-on A/C to the hatch when they don't have a hood, or the hood is beyond repair? I have a hard time paying $259 for a replacement from West Marine.
I have been watching, but No luck so far. I want to do it right, but if I'm only going to use this a few times a year, I have a hard time spending that amount for a simple cover/Hood. Now if I was spending several weekend in it, I definitely would.

Then I would get the proper hood, seal it right and start spending more weekends on the boat. I could think of a lot worse things to spend my money on and not have as good as a time...
While I completely agree, we spend as much time as we can on the boat now, but we don't get to spend the night often. I do plan to more, but it will likely only be a handful of times through the summer months.
Most of the units I've seen just use a fairly simple looking canvas deflector. Is it possible to just build a framework out of small diameter PVC pipe, cover it with bulk canvas, and then stitch or velcro the seams? Would make it easy to disassemble for storage.
