for my purposes, it would be a draw in weight, finances and energy.
A well insulated cooler and a couple of bags of ice available at any
port or marina would be a better benefit. and I'll drop back to one 8-
D and one automotive battery and go back with a smaller and lower
powered alternator for better efficiency due to less drag and flywheel
effect. still gotta have the microwave and coffee maker, though.


I'll get it figured out

I kept mine when I sold my Parker. Much less complicated than a boat
"refrigerator," and keeps food cold and safe for days, even in the
steamy weather we get in the summer in the Washington, D.C., area.
