Hello all, My boat has the smallest Isotherm compressor unit - evaporative plate in icebox. Recently the frig has been working a lot more than normal. Thethermostat is on the warmest temp, the fan next to the compressor works and everything else seems ok. Any clues?

The engine driven system is kaput, and the 110 will work on the inverter, but draws 7 amps 110, which converts to about 110 amps 12v dc. (And I wonder where the...

This is a blog post I just made, and I would appreciate any help from the Sailnet readers as I ponder the direction I am taking for refrigeration on Windsong: The system that came with the boat is a 1991 model Seafrost system with engine driven and AC/120v compressors. There is a larger...
