AEO's photo reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Does anyone know if there are fitted weather covers available for the vinyl cockpit bench seat? I have fasteners on the bottom of mine but no cover. Would be nice for those times I leave the cockpit canvas open and exposed to the elements (and tiny bug poo)

Had one made by local canvas shop. Love leaving the canvas off the cockpit which keeps the black streaks off the transom and gunnels.

Have been considering a similar upgrade. Love how seamless it looks. What model isotherm? Also how are you venting the back? What is the unit on the top left shelf?

Here are the pictures of my table. Mostly used to set up food and drinks buffet style

I’m trying to maximize my external refrigeration to minimize people walking through the cabin to the galley all the time…
In answer to your questions.
1. It’s the Isotherm DR16 which is the only fridge on the market that would fit.
2. It’s open and vented at the back.
3. That’s just my EPIRB.

Thanks, for the responses. I’ve been researching possibility of a top loading refrigerator for that area to see if I could get maximum cubic ft.

So do you keep the bench seat free floating so you can pull it out at will?

Yes I do, I can also open the table and leave the bench underneath so it’s out of the way.

That’s interesting because I barely store any thing in that cabinet, but when I do it’s always the last place I look when searching. Ver under utilized on our boat. Most likely due to lack of shelves.

Spotted this rear seat fridge in an 07’ model SB for sale in Hollywood, Florida… Pure genius…

Considering adding bridge air. Not primarily for cooling but more so for heat early and late season. Whats everyone's opinion on using the overboard waste discharge as a pickup for the new AC unit. I know we can never use the overboard based on where we boat but thinking about resale.

I would love to have the AC/Heat unit, but would not use that thru hull. Are you sure you need another or just a larger pump for the volume.

Not certain if a larger pump would serve all 3 units. I think the ones that came factory with bridge air had a separate pump. Guessing due to the height to the bridge. I have to revisit Alex's thread on his install.
