No, they have this marvelous new technology called electricity!

I am putting in a 12V freezer, that way it can run when it needs to
regardless of what our power config (shore power, underway, anchored,


genset running, etc).



Even a 12 V electric compressor can be noisy. With just a few feet of
plumbing you can have a more proffessional set up and better access to
your compressor in the engine room.



A refrigerator is a heat pump.

It is rather stupid to put the compressor in a hot engine room because
it decreases the efficiency of the heat pump when the hot side of the pump
is in a hot environment.

It's far better to put the compressor in as cool and well-ventilated space as
can be found on the boat within the limits of the copper tubing to the evaporator,
of course.

I hope this helps.
