Cool drinks and fresh food

One of the most basic needs, especially in the Mediterranean heat is refrigeration. An ice box will do at a pinch, but it really is a fridge you want, whether it’s to keep a couple of six-packs of beer cool or to keep a week’s supply of food fresh.

At Boatcare, we will repair and maintain your existing fridge and even, if you don’t have one yet, install one in any suitable space, even if there is no ice box on board. You can even have a freezer put in. The systems we install are driven by a 12V/24V compressor, which can also run on a 240V a/c supply when you’re hooked up to shore power. We can also use a 240V compressor only, or a mechanically driven compressor hooked up to an inboard motor. The last two options are more limited, however.

Condensers can be either air or water cooled, and the evaporator panels that do the actual cooling of the ice-box are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. We can even install an icemaker kit, inside your existing freezer compartment or as a new installation, as long as a 240V supply is available.

Price and capability vary across the different systems. We will be happy to suggest a set up to suit your needs and your boat’s capabilities, and provide you with a quote on a tailor-made solution. Just call us!
