It's entirely possible that I missed your prior posts for background, but please feel free to contact me off list if I can provide insights.

As the fridge is high amps, I can understand the need to go through extra steps to turn it on or off, but I was looking to do something more convenient. So here’s the plan: Since the compressor itself is located in a locker adjacent to the galley, I was thinking of putting a flip-open-covered blue LED push button latching ON-OFF switch in the galley, which would then activate a relay, which, when the button is pressed, would connect the positive lead to the fridge compressor. Here is the switch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EJWVBPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here is the cover: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TK0WFEA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It looks like the switch can handle the loads without burning out, but I think I’m best off getting a relay as well. I like the idea of the cover so it can’t accidentally be bumped into, turned on and drain the battery during a long day of sailing. Any thoughts? Sound like a good plan? Am I missing something?
