I will install an outlet, but this won't help me remove or clean behind the
"fridge"! The "fridge" is a Waeco evaporator/condenser unit that is built
into the boats icebox

The item I am installing, is a small Mobitronics rectifier that will provide
24V power to the "fridge" when at dock . It automatically switches out the
12v battery DC when activated. Waeco recommend this so as to avoid any
voltage spikes that the on-board charger may cause.

Probably not essential with our Truepower charger, but the eBay price was
right and it provides a neat way of monitoring the "fridge" power usage
(Using a Kill A Watt). This was suggested by someone earlier when I asked
about ways of checking power usage with different amounts of additional
(temporary) icebox insulation.

Why not get the matching socket for the plug and mount it near the fridge,
making it possible to easily extract the fridge for repair, replacement or
just cleaning behind it, someday.

Any kind of inline splicing usually causes problems down the road from
coming loose to corrosion and certainly makes removing the fridge a pain
in
the.....well, you get the idea. Install the outlet for the plug, ok?

Thanks!
