Default Frigoboat - The Smoking Gun (or compressor)

Thanks for the heads up. I see you sell many brands of systems; apparently
you have followed my saga of the Frigoboat failure, as well.

So, would you mind illustrating where it is that RK was wrong, or
misinforming, in my case?

Or was this a general warning for the remaining 3 people who read this
newsgroup (Neal harassers excepted)?


FWIW, I'm finally coming to terms with the voracious appetite for electrons
in the new SeaFrost air and water cooled system (which works perfectly - but
with air and water near 80, averages 7A - that is over extended periods -
e.g. 8 hours, 56AH consumption). The colder it gets, the better (less
average amps) that number is.

It's a dream to defrost by comparison to my SS-fronted,
largest-evaporator-plate-Frigoboat-offers previous - but uses something on
the order of 50-100% more electrons, particularly since the compressor is in
the engine room; with a keel cooler, it's of no consequence; with air (never
run the engine, and have it never above 70, it does well) and water needed
to cool the SeaFrost, not so much...
