![]() I have never bought their products, and based on what I've read on this thread I probably never will! Clearly they have serious quality control issues. More photos in our "Frigoboat Freezer" Photo AlbumĮventually we will provide more details on the installation process on our Frigoboat Installation web page, but we haven't gotten to that yet.Well, i honestly have no idea how much a replacement evaporator assembly costs from frigoboat. Will be trying to keep track of the cycle time once it gets to steady state. It runs til it hits 12.0 degrees and then shuts off. Right now the freezer is only drawing 3.1 amps, running on the slowest speed (2000 RPM). We will let the freezer run as a freezer for a couple of days, just to see how it cycles our empty box, then turn the thermostat up to fridge temps and move our fridge stuff into the freezer space, so he can install the fridge unit. No more "oops, we forgot to run the freezer today!" In a very quiet boat, you have to listen hard to tell if it is running. The absolute BEST thing about this refrigeration unit, in MY humble opinion, is that it is SO QUIET. It turned out pretty easy to bend, and was just perfect in the end. We finally hit on the great idea to 'model' the plan with a piece of cardboard. We were really afraid we would make a mistake with the $300 plate. We used graph paper and our high-school algebra to figure out what the length of 1/4 diameter of the bend was (around 2" PVC pipe), so we could get everything exact. We were also trying to use an existing hole in the box to run the pre-attached copper pipe through. We were trying to bend it just once (L-shaped) instead of twice (U-shaped), but there are spots in the plate that can't be bent, and you have to leave 3/4" air space behind the plate, which complicated the whole thing. It also took an insane amount of time for us to figure out where to make the bends in the evaporator plate. We eventually tried all the possibilities until we hit the right one. Then once we got that sorted out, the unclear installation instructions for the Coastal Digital Thermostat + Smart Speed Controller combination, held us hostage for awhile. Plus we had an extra day of messing about because of electrical issues-on the first hookup, he took advantage of the existing wire that was originally run to the old thermostat, to try to run the BD50, but that didn't work out. Well, it took a bit longer than I ever envisioned, but that's mainly because Dave is so careful and meticulous with how he installs things.
