I know there has been a lot of discussion recently about marine refrigeration, but I'm not looking for a lot of technical advice. I am winding down my list of projects for an extended cruise yet refrigeration remains one of the few projects I haven't tackled. My 1982 AB system is shot. I have met with a guy that installs Frigoboat systems--he came highly recommended and he seems like he knows his stuff.
He has put a system together for me with:
-Frigoboat W50 water cooled compressor
-Mod. 380F Evaporator
-Smart Speed Control
1. Is a Frigoboat system the way to go? (I read a some negative posts at Cruisers Forum Frigoboat - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
2. positive/negative experiences from here on the boards?
3. Is $3185 inc. labor (out-the-door) too much?
4. Is it worth installing a new system w/out overhauling my 26 year old boxes (He seems to think they were built really well and should be fine)?
Thanks,
Jesse
