In spite of many set backs... Empress has a new Frigoboat refrigeration system. It is cold enough for frosty drinks and ice cream.

It took some major determination after the first condensing coils were bent wrong...( by the store) then the next coil was the wrong size and finally the third was just right.
Yeah something like the three bears story.

Was this delay and the errors because we were learning as we went? Ed had put the same system into his boat so he had experience. The store made some errors. Humm, I would give it a 50/ 50 on that question. Yes we provided the labor, even made card board mock ups of the condenser that would fit into the box.... the store was providing the advice. Frigoboat's web page is extensive and clearly advertises you can do it your self. The best feature is an efficient compressor, Adler Barbour, and the couplings that are designed to connect without pressurized gas.
I am going to call it a no fault situation that took four weeks instead of four days.
