16. Refrigeration
The system on this boat is an upgraded 12v refrigerator with separate
freezer. This system is designed to run 24hrs a day if you wish. To ensure
that it does not fail keep your batteries charged. If the level goes below
12.2v both the fridge and the freezer will automatically switch off. Refer to
section 13 for charging instructions. If you get excessive ice in your freezer
do not chip away at the ice. If something is frozen to the side do not force it
away. Use warm water if you need to melt the ice.
There is a thermostat in the fridge. It is a white dial with numbers on it going
from 1-6. Putting 6 at the apex of the dial is the coldest setting. Keep it on
this setting until it is cold. If necessary you can turn the system down or off if
you wish. If it is not cold enough augment the system with ice. We are in the
tropics so please note that fruit, vegetables and other fresh produce may not
last as long as you expect.
Ask one of our staff for a deck cooler if you would like one for storing your
drinks. It will keep the drinks cold and help maintain the temperature in the
fridge, as people will not be going in it every 5 minutes for a drink.
There is no drain for this type of fridge.
