Most Trouble free refrigeration?

I am assembling a refrigeration system and am interested in what other
folks have & have not found troublesome.

Thanks in advance.

Doug King


Duh! Assembling it for use where? Don't you think that very important piece of
info should be included if you expect to get any reasonable answers?

Why is it so many people these days are too stupid to know how to ask a simple
question?

Here's a question.

How come Capt.Neal is such a cocksucker?

Specific enough or do you require further info?

Refrigeration system for a small boat without a generator.


I should have said, this is for a 36' trawler with a genset and a decent
12V bank. I'm leaning most strongly towards 12V compressor, air cooled
condenser.

I have an electric refrigerator on my Parker. Never used it.


Why not, doesn't it work?

I have a great thick cooler I load with ice. Got a temp gauge hooked up
through it. Keeps fresh food at safe temps for four or five days.
No trouble.


Why do you need a thermometer? Don't you know what temp ice melts at?
Besides, this wouldn't work for us when we're out for two or three weeks
and want to keep ice cream.

Yep, should work then.

it has never been used as a refrigerator. I store flat fishing tackle
boxes in ir).


Isn't that kind of expensive for aux stowage? But i bet it's easier to
keep clean ;)


... I don't have a separate generator on the Parker and am
reluctant to use battery power for anything except starting the engineor
running a radio when the engine is off.


Smart. You could always add a battery though... it makes me nervous to
even play the stereo softly unless there is a charged and isolated
dedicated start battery.


Have you considered a holding plate system? Take a look at

Thanks for the link. I'm taking notes.

Harry,
Have you put your Parker on the market yet? If so any ideas what you new
boat will be?

Good tackle is expensive, and lasts longer if kept in the dark!

I've got multiple batteries, but, other than switches, have no real
battery management system on the boat. That means I have to remember to
flip switches. But, I'll tell you, the ice works fine for our short trips
on this boat.

Are you "that" stupid???? Really !!

He can't actually say anything of substance about the imaginary boat,
boating much less a fridge because he owns nothing.

This is just his usual lies, just as we see after no apparent usage he
pretends he will now go through the entire charade of asking for advise
on the next imaginary boat, the man is a lying idiot, however you're
just as stupid to even pretend you believe any of it.

Talk about simpletons, a thermometer in an ice box, that holds ice for
5 days in a run about???:-) then the lying idiot when confronted with
the obvious lies again & says the claimed "doctor" wife requests
it!!!:-) what a hoot!!! he even again confirms his wife stories are lies
along the way, unless she's suffered a severe blow to the head, in which
case as we well know; Krause would have unplugged her anyway:-)



K

The Krause lie of they day I hear you asking for??? OK it's not a
repeat; not till my new script starts appending them that is:-)

But I thought you should know something funny about this Krause lie
list, in the early days he went on & on & on about his Hatt 43 & yes
lots of people called him BS till he finally posted a pic of his Hatt 43.

Needless to say this lying grub will stop at nothing in his lame
attempts to be believed as a boater just as he did in the jetski NGs.

Oops so sorry rambling again:-) anyway the really funny bit??? ages
later someone finds the same pic on a Hatt web site!!! yes truly this
lying idiot lifted a pic of a Hatt 43 from a web site then posted it as
his own boat!!!:-)

But there's more!!! get his answer it's almost as funny as him
getting caught red handed, he claimed it was a "sister ship" to his!!!
so that's why he posted the pic as his own boat!!!


Here are some:




Hatteras 43' sportfish
Swan 41' racing/cruising sloop
Morgan 33
O'Day 30
Cruisers, Inc., Mackinac 22
Century Coronado
Bill Luders 16, as sweet a sailboat as ever caught a breeze.
Century 19' wood lapstrake with side wheel steering
Cruisers, Inc. 18' and 16' wood lapstrakes
Wolverines. Molded plywood. Gorgeous. Several. 14,15,17 footers
with various
Evinrudes
Lighting class sailboat
Botved Coronet with twin 50 hp Evinrudes. Interesting boat.
Aristocraft (a piece of junk...13', fast, held together with spit)
Alcort Sunfish
Ancarrow Marine Aquiflyer. 22' footer with two Caddy Crusaders.
Guaranteed 60 mph. In the late 1950's.
Skimmar brand skiff
Arkansas Traveler fiberglass bowrider (I think it was a bowrider)
Dyer Dhow
Su-Mark round bilge runabout, fiberglass
Penn Yan runabouts. Wood.
Old Town wood and canvas canoe
Old Town sailing canoe...different than above canoe





I own the following boats:


a 36' "lobster" style boat
a 19' center console fishing boat
an 11' inflatable dinghy
1/2 of a canoe


Those are the types of boats I currently own. I'm also in the market for
some interesting kind of lightweight flatbottomed skiff, similar to the
old Skimmar, for the "new" 51-year-old 10 hp outboard I recently bought.


One of the boats is kept on dry land within a half mile of Chesapeake
Bay. One is kept at a private covered boat dock in a little creek off
Chesapeake Bay. One is kept in the backyard of a friend who lives much
closer to the Shenandoah River than I do. And one is kept next to the
36-footer."

Tuuk on the other hand.............scary!
