I am headed down to the "Empty Pockets" on Saturday to remove the fridge and install a new shore power only fridge. I was wondering if anyone knows what is under the icebox on a 28 sportfish. The old one is screwed in around the frame and the compressor is under the v-berth. Is there a platform under the old one? If I have to cobble one together should i use treated lumber or regular old pine. Thanks for any advice.

Save some bucks. Instead of a refrigerator that won't work away from shore, get one of those portable powered cooler chests that have both A/C and DC input.

There's a platform down there all right--thought I had a photo but...

We bought one of those mini-fridges and put it in that space. Runs off AC only, so we run it on the inverter while on the hook.

Thanks Jeff. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how big the inverter is?

I have a bigger than necessary 2KW unit running off up to 4 batteries. You can run most things (AC not included) off a 1KW unit and two or three batteries.

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
