Kevin,
I converted the original single-tube and double-tube fluorescent fixtures
on MYSTY to LED using double-wide LED strips and "Buck" converters to
protect the LEDs from overvoltage. I have photos of the converted fixtures but
cannot post them here.
If you'd like to see them, email me
I installed the Isotherm SP unit on Anchovy this year. The original insulation
is 3/4" styrofoam and it had separated from the plastic pan. I drilled the pan
with about gazillion holes and filled the void with pourable foam. I pulled the
bottom out of the aft counter locker to gain access to the
If you're looking for a permanent installation in NC, for light coastal
cruising and weekends, on a 30 foot boat with decent insulation, I'd go
with a basic tried and true Adler Barber system. Air cooled, Danfoss
compressor (because Danfoss compressors are everywhere) and easy to
install.

250 AH AGM if I recall correctly. Replaced 300 AH Rolls wet cells, but the
lightening hit blew them up. Replaced with AGM because the others were hard to
reach under cockpit sole to top off center line cells.

Those are the 12-volt thermo coolers designed for truckers, a totally different
(and much cheaper) option than the portable refrigerators I was talking about.
The portable refrigerators use very few amps because the insulation is so good.
Once the box is cool, the unit runs maybe 20-30 pe
Allen,
When I sailed our trailer sailor we used a portable cooler that plugged
into the cigarette lighter. It worked BUT, some things to consider:
The ones I've seen use Peltier plates for cooling.
It drew about 5amps
There was no thermostat
It would only cool about 30 degrees below outside air.
I have a portable Dometic 12/110-volt refrigerator on board. I love it.
It has the same cooling unit as permanently installed, air-cooled refrigeration
systems, but with state-of-the-art insulation in the box, which looks like a
cooler. My 35-quart uses about 30 amps a day in hot, humid South Fl

Do you have enough battery capacity?

I'm liking the Isotherm ASU SP units. Probably install one on the next haul
out in a couple years.

Kevin,

I just installed a Sea Frost BD unit. Mine is air cooled, but for the
Chesapeake you might want to go with the water cooled one. Call Cleave, the
owner, he's really helpful and knowledgeable. Mine works a treat and was very
easy to install and set up.

I still think the little portable coolers with built in compressors are the
most efficient things around. Many folks on this list have gone with much more
involved projects and will almost certainly have good advice. Insulation is the
key.

I had difficulty getting block ice on my trips around the NC sounds. Now that
we're finally ready to cruise the Chesapeake, I'm strongly considering adding
refrigeration.
Our ice box kept block ice solid for days and cubes usable til the bar closed,
so I am fairly certain our insulation was p
Richard,
Thank you for your thoughtful response, I appreciate the information. All
the best with your new boat.

I have the same arrangement on my mid-70s 38. And I, too, consider that
changing to a newer style pedestal isn't worth the time, trouble, and
expense.
If you replace the pedestal you need to repair and refinish the cockpit
sole. The current arrangement gives you much more room for running wirin

Tom, thanks for the inquiry; thee are many other 33 owners on this list who can
give equal or better summaries about the 33; and yes, my 33 is a centerboard
model; for me, the 33 is a great family boat; it is roomy and easily handled;
there are lots of places for younger persons to be involved,
Congrats!
I could see this coming after the comments you were making when you came
home from the Rendezvous a year ago.
I think you should have just jumped right to the Landfall 48 and save
yourself the trouble in a couple years!
