??? about keeping refrigerators cold

No shore power at the dock?
Yes there is shore power, and since I'm there the majority of the time
don't want to get rid of the nice big frig because it's so convenient.
You could fill the freezer section with "Blue Ice" bags
That sounds like the type of thing I'm hoping to learn more about.
If you'd care to tell me a bit more I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile I'll see
what Google has to offer.
and then take them out
of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator portion when you shut down, but
that won't be anywhere nearly as effective as running the compressor and
evaporator.
It sounds like you have an AC refrigerator,
no shore power,
It's an AC refrigerator, and AC shore power the majority of the time.
and you're setting the boat up to run your AC generator to keep
the beeer cold?
If it was just beer I'd only have to fool with an ice chest. But it's beer
plus everything else...including frozen food that I'd like to keep as well
frozen as possible.
Or you've got a dual voltage refrigerator and the genset is running to recharge
your house bank?
If I can get the frig to stay cold longer, I can greatly cut down on the
time that the generator has to run, the number of times it has to be started
and stopped, the amount of gas it uses, the number of times it has to be
re-fuled, and how much time I have to spend hearing it run.
A little more information might get you more helpful responses.
Thanks for any help people can give!
