Ahh, but the electric 'fridge needs...electricity. There's no free lunch.


You don't have electricity on your boat? Most do these days, and the
price of inverters has dropped down to the pocket change level.



I have all sorts of electricity on the new boat, but I have yet to use
the refrigerators or icemaker, other than briefly, to ensure they
worked. I'm sure I'll use everything to excess this spring.


And the Harry lies start in 1...2....3...
Why not post a pic?

http://forums.sbo.sailboatowners.com...ad.php?t=95807


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 like simple.... a good cooler and ice... if I need to, there is a
local grocery store with dry ice! (I mix the two... dry ice will
freeze EVERYTHING.)


It seems to me that Tim would be a lot better off with a simple Honda
or
Yamaha unit that produces the amount of 'lectricity he needs to run
the
microwave, coffee maker, hot plate, et cetera, and with a good cooler
that could keep ice icy for a few days.


Well, a small generator is a neat concept but having one inboard in my
boat would add to the clutter not counting the fumes etc. At least
that's what I'm envisioning.


Yeah, constant noise (but they are quiet), refilling, carrying extra
fuel, fumes, tripping over it, extension cords. Yuck.

A couple bags of ice seem like the ticket, unless you go with a real
fridge and permanent wiring.


Oh I'm still going with the battery/isolator/invertor but it's a
tosover refrigeration.

now concerning a portable generator...

Well, i suppose i could strap it onto the swim platform.... right next
to the extra jerry cans full of gas.

====

Ya know Tim, I was half-assed considering refrigeration for my sailboat but
following the on topic portion of this discussion has talked me out of it.
I'll stick with ice.

I'd say it is a pretty safe assumption? Snerk I would be willing to wager a toonie on it.
