That's a deal! How did you find that? Was someone putting in a new system?

The Norcold and the sister Engel refrigerators get very good marks from Practical Sailor. I have an Engel MT27 on my boat and not at all surprised at how well they work.

Last I checked it was.

I haven't used Craigslist for nautical stuff, but I have a woodchipper and a guitar and a full-sized MIDI keyboard via it. If I get unhappy with my playing, the last two can go through the first.

I did get a great sextant via eBay, but it wasn't a bargain so much as "priced correctly".

I just sold a norcold Refrig./Freezer. It was an older amonia type system that worked on Propane.12V/110v. I replaced it w/ 2 separate units, a 3 1/2 cu. foot Isotherm refrigerator w/ a 12v danfoss swing compressor and a 5cu. Ft 12v deep freeze (-10f) also w/ a swing compressor.
The Norcold was very power hungry and I wanted to eliminated Propane from inside the boat (still use for the outside grill) Also the location of the old unit did not allow a full opening of the door ! very odd.
The separate units allow me to "adjust" my refrigeration needs and eliminates "traffic" in the larger freezer , saving a bit of energy consumption.
I also sold it on CL $60 the guy wanted it for a cabin and liked the propane option.
It is my understanding that the Norcolds are famous for being power hungry. Maybe the newer units are different.
