Does anyone have the inside dimensions (length/width) of the original refrigerator box. I’m not at my boat and I want to make an insulation blanket to help hold the cold. Long range I plan to add permanent insulation to either the inside or outside and would like to get some ideas from those who have already been there.

What material are you planning to use?

Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -
Tor posted a rather long and informative piece about how he upgraded his
fridge. Search the forum, or maybe he’ll chime in with the location.It also depends if you have an ‘L’ or ‘U’ galley layout on the size of the
box.Bob
I’m not being terse. This is from my mobile.

Also, what model galley do you have – L-shaped or U-Shaped? There are two
different ice box configurations.Regards,
John Stevenson

Bob’s right, I did that project a couple of years ago and send some
photos to the group. It was a big one. My dimensions (if I still have
them) won’t help with a U-shaped galley – mine is the “L” – but the
insulation I used and the Home Depot prefab GRP paneling with which I
covered it worked out very well.Tor

I am thinking a two staged approach. First I need an immediate cool boost for a trip I am starting next week. Planned material for that is an insulated/quilted space blanket (Academy Sports) for about $4.95 that I will cut and make a blanket to lay over the food stuff to keep the cool from rushing out when I open the thing to get the mayonaise. Kinda like that “cool bag” they sell at Walmart. That’s why I need inside diminsions.
I saw in one of the sail mags recently where they sell a “custom” refrigerator/icebox blanket for 15cents per square inch. I am assuming the concept works, so I make the blanket for $4.95.Then, later, I plan to do the insulation job similar to what Tor did. I have a friend who did almost the same thing with his Pearson 39 and it worked great. He used that Home Depot white plastic paneling and 5200 over some kind of foam or styrofoam. I will have to look at the old write-up that Tor did.

Go to Home Depot. Buy a roll of Reflectix. It will cover the interior of
your refrigerator like you want with some left over and you can then start
covering your lockers as well.They don’t carry it at Home Depot (not at mine anyway), but Reflectix makes
a Double layer that you might look for online.

Patrick, I found the Reflectix at Lowes and it is going to be perfect. Thanks.
I still don’t know the dimensions of the U galley fridge box. I am not at the boat (it is in Lake Erie and I am in Alabama) and I want to have it to take with me when I go on Tuesday. I’m thinking I might want to sew the edges with my “new” used heavy duty Pfaff sewing machine. At this point just sewing a square is at the top of my skillset abilitiy.If someone is living on their boat with the U galley, or is fairly close, I would appreciate the fridge box dimensions (length X width).
Thanks,
Charlie -
