Air Conditioning Climma Marine Compact 9

The original Air Conditioning Climma Marine Compact 9 in the aft cabin stop working (and was tripping the boat power as well as the marine shore power).

Since a new unit will take 3 months to arrive, I decided to swap the forward and aft air conditioning units.
An easier option would have been to sleep in the forward cabin

You will see the removal of the aft and forward cabin air conditioning. Then reinstallation of both units with unexpected complications of the fan and bracket holding the control boxes

It is common sense that the power to the air conditioning units should be turn off at the 220 Volt panel (diruptor) before doing anything.
