Hey Larry what vessel are you working with . Key word being Boat.

Use a cooler instead, keeps it colder and easier/doesn't break down.

Hello Tamekau. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Like Matt mentioned, it would help greatly to know what kind of boat you have...fridges on row boats can be much tougher to operate than on an R35. Any pics?
