You see, marine refrigeration is part art and part
science. Way too many variables. Before you spend
upwards of 2-3k on a system, you probably better be
sure of what heck you are doing or at least close to
the right thing or have a darn good back-up plan.
This January, as I was about to put router to counter
top, I said a little prayer. Either I am a hero, or I
just made the biggest mistake in my life (no that’s
not true,I was married once).
So far I am pretty pleased, but I’ll have to wait for
the warm weather to get here.
I now have access to the top thru a top lid. The
bottom thru a front opening door and access to the
freezer section thru a 2nd top opening lid.
4cu ft refer and a 3 cu freezer. Before anyone gets
their panties twisted, the front opening door is a
good idea in that I no longer have to take everything
out to get to the bottom of the cooler. I can now just
reach in and grab the stuff in the lower part.
Remember my PO had already modified the box, so it
does not looks like any of yours.
It’s only 13 inches wide and 4 feet deep and 48 inches
long along the top. Too deep for my short arms.

I completely agree with your comments about
Sea-Frost. I’m the first to complain when I get bad
service. It is only fair to complement when we get
good service. We should add Sea-Frost to our
recommended vendor list.
The Kollman Marine book is great. I had it out just
last weekend. I replaced my compressor over the
winter and had to recharge my system.
Even if you don’t plan to service your own
refrigeration, the book is filled with useful
information about how they work and suggestions for
improvement to existing systems. It’s well worth
the cost. They sell two books. I have the
do-it-youself book linked below.

They have an second volume with information specific
to 12v systems.
